...most people are talking about Ocellaris when they say Black Perc...
This is a gorgeous clown, anyway. I wouldn't call it a Black Percula, but it is certainly a fine Onyx specimen.

I think Black perc is one of the more confusing and pointless common names as it is used to describe sooooooo many clownfish by people who dont know what they are doing. i have a LFS that is also a RC sponsor that cant seem to stop calling the black and white ocellaris that are tank raised from austrailia, Black perc Australian its so confusing for people who dont know better. and normally the store is very good with ID. |

Rue,
What you have is a black A. ocellaris, not an A. percula

Well...I bought it from a pro...and he said it's a perc...and I paid perc prices...lol...but it is tank raised...
Someone's wrong! Unless I'm totally out to lunch! Ultimately it doesn't matter THAT much to me...but still, I'd like to know for certain...

Juvy A. ocellaris (black variant), and be careful with that Rhodactis indosinensis (hairy mushroom), they're known clownfish eaters.

 The only problem is, she (or he?) is probably one of only a few to be found in the ocean. That is an absolutely gorgeous fish. I don't make it over to rareclownfish so maybe my questions are already discussed over there. I am assuming that it is the only one of the pair like that? WC? Breeding? If so, what do the babies generally look like? |
