❄️ Platinum Clownfish

A Striking Designer Clownfish with Elegant All-White Coloration

The Platinum Clownfish (Amphiprion percula or ocellaris variant) is a stunning designer morph of the classic clownfish, bred for its brilliant solid white body and occasional soft orange accents around the face or fins. This reef-safe, tank-raised beauty stands out dramatically against colorful coral backdrops and adds a modern, minimalist touch to any saltwater aquarium.

With the same playful personality and hardiness as its wild-type cousins, the Platinum Clownfish is a top choice for aquarists looking to add a bit of elegance and drama to their reef or marine setup.

✨ Key Highlights

✔️ Designer Morph: The Platinum variant is bred for its snow-white, patternless body, creating a visually striking appearance. No two fish are exactly the same.
✔️ Tank-Raised Advantage: Captive-bred Platinum Clowns are more disease-resistant, easier to care for, and already adapted to life in an aquarium.
✔️ Compatible With Reef Tanks: Completely safe with corals and invertebrates, they won’t nip or disturb your aquascape.
✔️ Interactive Behavior: Known for their endearing “wobble” swim, clownfish often become the centerpiece of community tanks and will recognize their keepers.
✔️ Potential to Host Anemones: While not required, they may naturally host in bubble-tip anemones (Entacmaea quadricolor), offering a beautiful symbiotic display.

🧡 Feeding & Nutrition

Platinum Clownfish are omnivorous and thrive on a varied diet. Offer a mix of:

• High-quality marine flakes and pellets

• Frozen foods like mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and krill

• Occasional treats like enriched Artemia or chopped seafood

• Marine algae-based foods for balance

Feed 1–2 times daily in small portions. Tank-raised clownfish are already weaned onto prepared foods, making feeding easy and stress-free.

💑 Pairing & Compatibility

Platinum Clowns can be kept singly, in pairs, or even in small groups in larger tanks. When kept in pairs, one will become female (the dominant one), while the other remains male. They are generally peaceful but may become territorial, especially when breeding.

Suitable tankmates include:

• Other peaceful reef-safe fish (firefish, gobies, wrasses)

• Cleaner shrimp, snails, and hermit crabs

• Most soft and LPS corals

• Avoid keeping with aggressive species like damsels or large predatory fish
