Wait so this is a maroon and a Darwin mixed??? I had no idea those clowns could mix with maroons being well maroons! This is way coolThought my second hatch was happening tonight. I don't think it is.. which I believe means I didn't notice the first batch of eggs the first day they were laid.. everywhere I've read they they say it takes the same amount of time to hatch.. first batch is on day 14 slowly turning into clownfish.. felt like I was raising mosquito larvae till I could see the stripes..
They look blue to me? Is this normal for darwins or....
That happens on occasion with clowns of a variety of species - I haven’t looked into the cause much yet, but my understanding is that the blue is dark pigmentation under the white scales (and it may change some with age).
I want them to be black with blue stripes.. I'll name my new mansion estate after them.. lolThat happens on occasion with clowns of a variety of species - I haven’t looked into the cause much yet, but my understanding is that the blue is dark pigmentation under the white scales (and it may change some with age).
To my knowledge, it’s still relatively uncommon, but people have been working to purposely breed blue into clowns for a few years now:

The holy grail of clownfish breeding used to be an all white morph but since this has been achieved in three species already, breeders have had to set their sights higher, and for an even more exotic…reefbuilders.com
Don’t give up hope. This is only a theory. Lol
