Domino Clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris)

Domino Clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris) is a striking designer morph of the Ocellaris Clownfish, characterized by its dark black body and distinctive white patches. The pattern can vary between individuals, with some developing large irregular white markings as they mature. Hardy and adaptable, it is a popular choice for reef aquariums and can establish a strong territory around a preferred host coral or anemone. Lighting Moderate to high Normal reef lighting is suitable. Lighting requirements depend on the other corals in the aquarium rather than the clownfish itself. Placement (Aquarium Zone) Middle to upper reef Provide open swimming space alongside sheltered areas among live rock. If keeping a host anemone, ensure the aquarium is mature and lighting and water conditions suit the particular anemone species. Temperature 24–27°C (75–81°F) Salinity 1.025–1.026 SG pH 8.1–8.4 Alkalinity 7–9 dKH Consistency is more important than maintaining a specific value. Calcium 420–450 ppm Magnesium 1280–1380 ppm Flow Moderate, variable flow Provide good water circulation and oxygenation, with calmer areas where the fish can rest. Avoid excessive direct flow around its preferred shelter or host. Diet Omnivorous + Varied Feeding
