The Platinum Percula Clownfish is a nearly all white variation of the True Percula Clownfish. The result of years of selective breeding, the Platinum Percula is derived from the famous Picasso Clownfish. This striking white clownfish develops orange and then black fins as it matures, and retains some orange color in the face. Not to be confused with the Snowflake Clownfish, which is actually A.ocellaris, the Platinum Percula show none of the original stripes characteristic of the species. While the middle stripe of the Snowflake Clownfish is wide and has jagged edges,the Platinum Percula is continuously white from head to tail.
These clownfish do not need an Anemone to survive, but will accept many different Anemones as its host, including corals. Their favorite Anemones to call home are the Carpet Anemones Stichodactyla Gigantea or the Magnificent Anemone Heteractis Magnifica.
Clownfish have a very distinct swimming motion that is different from most fish. This is likely passed on through their genetic makeup from centuries of wiggling within the tentacles of Anemones. As the Clownfish wiggles within the stinging tentacles the Anemone's mucus is likely smeared over the Clownfish's body, which then protects it from additional stings.
In the wild they live in small groups with one large dominant female, one smaller sexually active male, and a handful of smaller males and juveniles. When the female is lost the largest male will then change sex and become the dominant female with the other Clowns moving up the ladder behind it.
