Black Ocellaris Clownfish (Darwin) – Captive Bred

The Black Ocellaris Clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris var. “Darwin”) is a unique designer variety prized for its bold, jet-black coloration accented by crisp white bars. Originating from the Darwin region of northern Australia, this clownfish makes a dramatic and elegant addition to any reef or marine aquarium.

Captive bred for long-term health and adaptability, the Black Ocellaris is hardy, peaceful, and reef safe.
