Bring something hauntingly different to your reef with the ORA Captive-Bred Zombie Ocellaris Clownfish Pair.
The Zombie Clownfish is one of the most unusual Black Ocellaris color variations produced by ORA. Juveniles begin life with vivid neon-orange coloration and striking iridescent red eyes. As they mature, varying amounts of darker Black Ocellaris pigmentation develop across the body, creating a smoky mixture of gray, black and glowing orange patches.
No two Zombie Clownfish develop exactly alike. Their strange, weathered coloration is completely natural to this designer variety and is exactly what gives these fish their unforgettable “living dead” appearance.
These captive-bred clownfish are generally hardy, adaptable and well suited for established reef or marine aquariums. They do not require an anemone and may choose to host in corals, aquarium decorations or another favorite area of the tank.
This listing includes two ORA Zombie Ocellaris Clownfish sold as a pair.

Important Appearance Notice
Zombie Clownfish are intentionally bred for their unusual smoky, mottled appearance. Coloration varies significantly between individual fish and continues developing as the fish mature. Juveniles may arrive considerably brighter and more orange than mature examples.
