Description

It is a popular choice for saltwater aquariums due to its hardy nature and relatively easy care requirements. These fish are also known for their symbiotic relationship with certain types of anemones.
Reef Safe?
Yes, the Black and White Ocellaris is considered reef safe and is an excellent choice for a reef aquarium.
Environment
The Black and White Ocellaris needs a tank with plenty of hiding places and a suitable anemone for it to form a symbiotic relationship with. The tank should be well-filtered and maintained at a stable temperature.
Behavior
These fish are generally peaceful, but can be territorial, especially if they have established a relationship with an anemone. They will often form a mated pair with another Ocellaris in the tank.

Wonderful addition to the tank! Cute personality and very active. He comes up to the front when I'm around to beg for food and hosts pretty much any coral. At my LFS he was switching between hosting a hammer, toadstool, xenia, and a duncan. He has also been very willing to bond with my established ocellaris which has been great.

Is a nice color change to your common clownfish colors with more black than anything would recommend especially to newcomers

The black and white ocellaris varies a bit in colour with some examples being completely black and white and some other examples with black and white body and orange face. This fish is visible almost all the time. If kept together they should be paired. Funny fish with a lot of character.
