I received a pair of clownfish today, they are both a hybrid from a captive bred brood formed between a Onyx Amphiprion Percula and a black and white Amphiprion Ocellaris pair, two totally different Amphiprion (clownfish) that are very rare in that they’re completely black with white stripes. This is a pair from them, which have a dark orange mixed with black. These were bred by Sanjay who has done a lot of research in aquarium lighting for reef tanks, and he has dubbed them “Black Photon Clownfish”.
The male (smaller one) with a non-completed middle stripe. The female (larger one) came with some ich, hopefully she will pull through soon. I’m hoping my ELOS 120 tank will be a great home for these two extremely unique clownfish. In the coming weeks I am going to try to collect a pair of naked ocellaris (no white stripes), a misbar pair (with non complete stripes), and perhaps a snowflake pair (tons of white, little orange).
Here are a few pictures of the pair in the tank:
