Not everything is black or white! As they say...

But let's see what is!! I'm curious what fish, corals, and inverts are majorly black or majorly white in color! I'm also thinking of doing a themed tank with this...

Please share your awesome photos and names/descriptions ;Cat

I feel like the designer clowns are what pulled me back in to reefing. That butterfly is an odd looking fella... i like the yellow dorsal spikes. it looks like the 4 stripe damsel

Darwin ocellaris are actually a wild variant if I remember correctly.

That is correct. Wild type Darwin’s are one of my favorite fish

Why would you want black corals though? You wouldn’t be able to see them LOL.
As for white corals, white isn’t a good thing

The gem tang and polyzona tang both have black and white coloration.

Smith's blennies.

A trio were the first fish I added to my 65g ... and their vivid black/white contrast seriously had me considering a black & white themed tank as well. (Really wanted some wrasses too though ... so I ended up going with a pseudo-Java Sea biotope instead.)

As far as CUC, you add in some black-footed trochus snails and some dwarf zebra hermit crabs ... although their shells will eventually turn coraline purple.

On a serious note I think those colors would add some nice contrast

Dead and dying corals would contrast pretty nicely! ;Hilarious

Amd not a fish, but Trochus Snails.

Thank you for the kind words!

If I could pick any black and white fish it would probably be a masked angle. They require deep pockets unfortunately.
