Captive Bred Ocellaris Clown

The Captive Bred Ocellaris Clown represents an excellent choice for both novice and experienced aquarists, offering the iconic orange and white striped pattern without the ethical concerns of wild collection. Bred in controlled environments, these fish demonstrate superior hardiness and disease resistance compared to wild-caught specimens. They form symbiotic relationships with host anemones—particularly Bubble Tip and Carpet varieties—though they adapt readily to aquarium life without anemone hosts. Peaceful and social, Ocellaris Clowns thrive in pairs or small groups and integrate well into community reef setups. They accept a varied diet of quality marine flakes, frozen mysis shrimp, and small pellets. Remarkably adaptable to diverse water conditions, they tolerate temperature ranges of 72-78°F and moderate to strong water flow. Their captive-bred origin ensures consistent coloration, behavior, and long-term viability, making them a sustainable and reliable foundation species for reef aquariums of 20 gallons or larger.
