The Black Ocellaris is a stunning color morph of A. ocellaris that is sometimes referred to as the Darwin Ocellaris or the Darwin False Percula. This is a naturally occurring variation for the species with a very limited range. It is naturally found in the Darwin area of Northern Australia. These fish are rarely, if ever imported from the wild so captive bred specimens make up nearly the entire market.
Black Ocellaris begin life orange colored and switch to black as they mature. The ones we offer are generally all black but may have a splash of orange on the face. All orange color disappears as they age resulting in the only solid black and white clownfish found in nature.

Black Ocellaris Clownfish
The Black Ocellaris Clownfish, though considered a variation of the A. ocellaris species, has intrigued scientists who might classify it as a new species in the future. This clownfish retains the classic three white stripes but sports a striking black body instead of the usual orange. Its simple yet eye-catching design makes it stand out, especially when paired with others. The deep black coloration enhances the beauty of the curved white stripes.Key Features
