If you are looking for Onyx, most hobbyist ask for ones with lineage back to C-Quest (no longer around as owner/breeder passed away) as they have the nicest black and bright orange and whites. Unfortunately, a lot of breeders breeding C-Quest have been inbreeding indiscriminately for way too long and has been getting a lot of birth defects. Also, most of the Onyx tend to have longer bodies and problems with bad heads... again from inbreeding and locking in these bad traits instead of breeding them out. I buy a lot of Onyx clownfishes every year, so I know most of the people breeding Onyx. What I've like is the Onyx from Booyah's Reef. They start off football shape (shorter bodies that one is accustomed to) and they grow into their bodies and look great as they mature. The original C-Quest Onyx were very similar, start off football shape body and grow into them. Checkout Mitch at Booyah's Reef if you want Onyx. BTW, Onyx is a true percula. Ocellaris is called Dawin. Onyx has 3 colors, black body, orange face and fins and white stripes. Darwin ocellaris is black body with white stripes, no orange. There is also another clownfish with lots of black and it's a cross between the Onyx and Darwin... this hybrid is called Photon, also a beautiful fish.

Another suggestion is have you LFS special order from Sea & Reef hatchery as they have Onyx and Darwin as well. Avoid shipping costs and you get to observe the fish live in your LFS before picking up.
