Tangerine Albino Wyoming White Clownfish

The Tangerine Albino Ultra Snowflake Clownfish is a higher grade of Tangerine Snowflake Clownfish. All three stripes are fused together in an almost solid white fish and with the tangerine coloration on the face, upper chest, pectoral fins, pelvic fins, caudal fin and anal fin. The black pigment is strongly reduced in the fins, which is a hallmark of the Tangerine line of clownfish and due to their hypo-melanistic genetics. The brighter orange coloration and greatly reduced black pigment makes them very distinct from the regular Snowflake Ocellaris Clownfish


Temperament and Captive Care

The temperament and captive care requirements for Tangerine Albino Wyoming White Clownfish is very similar to that of the regular Ocellaris clownfish. It is relatively peaceful and hardy. They thrive in saltwater aquariums with or without an anemone present.

Feeding

Most clownfish are omnivorous feeders, meaning that they will consume a variety of different food types. In nature the diet of clownfish consists of crustaceans (such as copepods and amphipods), algae, polychaete worms and leftovers from the anemone’s meal. Our captive bred fish are conditioned to eat a variety of aquarium diets including pellets, flake food, frozen Mysis shrimp, and frozen brine shrimp.

Aquarium Host Anemones

The Tangerine Albino Wyoming White Ocellaris Clownfish will readily accept a wide variety of host anemones and many hobbyists keep them with the popular and hardy Bubble Tip Anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor). As a reference the natural host anemones of the regular ocellaris clownfish are Magnificent Sea Anemone (Heteractis magnifica), Giant Carpet Sea Anemone (Stichodactyla gigantean) and Merten's Carpet Sea Anemone (Stichodactyla mertensii).
