Clownfish has completely changed color

Not that this is a problem but it’s pretty interesting to see one of my clowns looks completely different in only 6 months. Doesn’t even remotely resemble the fish it was when I got it. First picture is when I got it, was mostly orange and now it’s almost solid black.

From a nice little nugget to a mean adult that bites the hell out of me everytime my hand is in the tank haha

Same here! Just always something to consider when buying designer clowns, is when you buy juveniles that they may not look the same way as they mature.

It’s like my black storm, brought it when it was 6 months it was just orange no black in sight now it mostly black.

I had the same thing happen. I have 4 clowns. Three were black and one orange. The orange one has turned black. I figured he was feeling left out Didn’t know it was possible.

Yea it must be more of a designer clown thing, my other pair of regular clowns has always had the same patterns and color.

Yea its something to think about when you are spending a lot of money on a juvenile designer clown. That it may not look the same as it matures

He’s just rebelling

Sounds to me like you had a young clown that is maturing and reaching its natural color. Black and white ocellaris clown sometimes look like a regualr Ocellaris clown when they are very young but as they grow they will become solid black out and white.

Here is an example of 3 month old black Ocellaris and their adult mother next to it. When they are less then, 4 weeks, they are only orange color.
