The Phantom Clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris) is a beautiful, captive-bred variety of the Snowflake ocellaris. They have black bodies with white splotches, creating a snow-covered pattern. They are social and very peaceful with other species as well as other peaceful clownfish and can even be kept in a school if the tank is large enough. They are also very hardy, and a great choice for a beginner.

Clownfish are reef safe and can be kept with non aggressive invertebrates and corals, and most clowns will host an anemone present in the tank. Diet should include a variety of frozen and live mysis and brine shrimp as well as spirulina, marine algae, nori, and algae based foods, 2-3 times daily.
