Bright Red Occelaris at Reeflife on 280

[ash9965]

Anyone see the Bright Red Occelaris at reef life on 280 ? It used to be paired up with a Black female Clown but i believe she recently died .

Any Idea what type of clown it is. I don't think I have ever seen one so red ?

Probably some type of Ocellaris/Maroon hybrid (SA Mai Tai/Ora Blood Orange)

I guess its possible but its my impression that its just and extremely red occellaris . Just not sure if there is a specific name for it . I looked up the Mai Tai ..Maybe ??

In the Biocube? I always thought it was just their lighting.

 

[ash9965]

i don't thinks it a bio cube but I could be wrong but its definitely not the lighting its extremely bright red

Take a look at it next time you are there

always thought it was just lighting as well. It wasn’t as colorful when they had it in that giant acrylic tank they used to have.

yeah it was a great contrast having the bright red and the dark black clown mating together I have seen some of the babies they look awesome as well a cool mix

Tuffy said they told him at the store that the orange clown is a “blaze”.

Oh yea, I saw them when Michael was trying to grow the fry a while back. Cool looking babies.

Article looks pretty old. I wonder if they're even spawning anymore. I just emailed SA to see if they'll ever have them again.

 

[ash9965]
