Saltwater Fish
Black Ocellaris Clownfish.
The Black Ocellaris is the striking dark morph of the common clownfish, showing jet-black bodies with crisp white bars in place of the usual orange. Hardy, tank-bred, and personable, they are one of the best beginner saltwater fish and readily host in anemones or substitute corals. Sizes and exact banding vary between individuals.

We never ship fish, coral, or invertebrates — every animal here is one you meet in person. Each one is acclimated and health-checked in-house before it goes out into the display tanks. This is a species we keep, and what is swimming on any given day changes with the deliveries, so please call (814) 456-9445 before you drive in.

Good tank mates
Peaceful with most reef fish and safe with corals and invertebrates, though a bonded pair may defend a small territory.
Good to know
All clownfish are born male, and the dominant fish of a pair changes sex to become the larger female.
What is in the tanks and each animal's temperament vary — call (814) 456-9445 for pairing advice.
