{"product_id":"orange-storm-clownfish","title":"Orange Storm Clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \"Storm\" pattern is a captive-bred mutation, not something you'd ever find on a wild reef — selective breeding scrambles the classic three white bars of an \u003cem\u003eAmphiprion ocellaris\u003c\/em\u003e into swirling, marbled bands that bleed into the orange body, and no two fish come out quite the same. It's a visually dramatic departure from the standard Ocellaris, and it holds up well under reef lighting because the broken white pattern catches blue spectrum differently than solid bars do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it's tank-raised over multiple generations, this fish never formed a dependency on a host anemone the way its wild cousins do — it'll happily settle into a power head nozzle, a coral head, or just cruise the rockwork without needing a host to feel at home. Every other behavior that makes a standard Ocellaris such a reliable reef fish still applies here: peaceful disposition toward most species, aggressive only toward other clownfish in too small a space, and completely immune to its own anemone's sting via the mucus coating on its skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Storm pattern tends to develop and deepen as the fish ages — juvenile specimens can look quite different at 6 months than they do at 2 years, which is either an appeal or a consideration depending on how you feel about predictability in color.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScientific name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amphiprion ocellaris (Storm pattern morph)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Captive-bred; wild A. ocellaris from Indo-Pacific coral reefs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater parameters:\u003c\/strong\u003e Temp 74–82°F · Salinity 1.023–1.026 · pH 8.1–8.4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTank requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 gal minimum for a single fish; 30+ gal for a pair\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Omnivore — quality marine pellet or flake; supplement with frozen mysis and brine shrimp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reef safe; peaceful with most species; semi-territorial with other clownfish in small tanks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHusbandry note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Captive-bred clownfish acclimate faster and are considerably more disease-resistant than wild-caught.
