Blackstorm Clownfish babies

[drummerkid97]

Thinking about buying a pair of Blackstorms. The seller has photos of the fish and its spots are kinda orange. Is this normal and will they darken over time?

bump; this is something i’d like to know too.

Yes, my baby black storms had a slight orange as well. They will darken up over time.

follow-up: my LFS confirmed that the orange coloration does darken up as the juvenile fish matures. i was at my LFS today (just had to get out of the house lol), and i inquired about his latest batch of young ‘black storms’ looking very orange.

one can also expect the pattern to change until maturity is reached (that aspect, i did’t expect).
