Orange Storm Clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris)
The "Storm" line is a captive-bred pattern mutation, not something you'd find on a wild reef — selective breeding scrambles the classic three white bars of an Ocellaris clownfish into swirling, marbled bands, and no two fish come out quite the same. Because it's tank-raised rather than wild-caught, it never learns to depend on a host anemone the way its wild cousins do, so it settles into life as a solo reef resident without any fuss.
Care level: Easy · Temperament: Semi-aggressive, territorial · Max size: ~4" · Min tank: 20 gal · Diet: Omnivore, marine flake/pellet
