Description

The Black Percula Clownfish or Black False Percula Clownfish (Amphiprion Ocellaris), is a marine fish belonging to the family Pomacentridae, which includes clownfishes and damselfishes. They are found in different colors, depending on where they are located. Black Amphiprion Ocellaris with white bands can be found near northern Australia, Southeast Asia, and Japan.

Black Percula Clownfish or Black False Percula Clownfish is normally found in association with anemones on the reefs of the Coral Sea. It can be found individually, or more commonly, in pairs or small groups within the same anemone such as Heteractis Magnifica or Stichodactyla Mertensii. These captive-bred Clownfish grow to a maximum size of 3″ inches in the aquarium, and may be kept singly or in groups.

Black Percula Clownfish or Black False Percula Clownfish can be distinguished from other Amphriphon species based on the number of pectoral rays and dorsal spines. Amphiprion ocellaris are known to grow about 6.7″ inches long. Like many other fish species, females are, however, larger than males. When Amphiprion Ocellarisenter into the juvenile stage of life, they travel down to the bottom to find shelter in a host anemone. Once they find their anemone, they form a symbiotic relationship with them.
