Platinum Storm Clownfish

The Platinum Storm Clownfish, *Amphiprion ocellaris*, is a captivating and highly sought-after designer clownfish variety. This striking fish exhibits a predominantly white body with irregular, bold black markings that create a unique “storm” pattern across its sides and fins. The intensity and distribution of the black markings vary from fish to fish, making each individual a living work of art.

A minimum aquarium size of 20 gallons is recommended for a single Platinum Storm Clownfish or a pair. Provide plenty of live rock for hiding places and potential host anemones, although they can thrive without one. They are generally peaceful and make excellent additions to most community reef aquariums.

Like other *Amphiprion ocellaris*, the Platinum Storm Clownfish is a protandrous hermaphrodite, meaning all are born male and the largest fish in a group will transition to female. Breeding in a home aquarium is possible with a compatible pair and proper conditioning.

The Platinum Storm Clownfish is an omnivore and will readily accept a varied diet. Offer a mix of high-quality marine flake and pellet foods, as well as frozen foods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and chopped seafood. Supplementing their diet with marine algae or spirulina can also be beneficial. In a home aquarium, they typically reach a size of about 3 inches.
