It combines the familiar bright orange coloration of an Ocellaris Clownfish with dramatic, irregular white patterning that can cover much of the body. Because the pattern varies considerably among individuals, each Orange Storm has a distinctive appearance.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrange Storm Clownfish were developed through selective breeding rather than hybridization. Sea \u0026amp; Reef Aquaculture developed the strain by breeding Black Storm Clownfish with bright orange Ocellaris Clownfish through multiple generations to retain the characteristic Storm pattern while replacing the predominantly black coloration with orange. The Orange Storm was first released to the aquarium hobby in 2018. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis specimen is \u003cstrong\u003ecaptive bred\/tank raised\u003c\/strong\u003e and maintained at Pacific East Aquaculture in dedicated systems separate from our wild-collected fish.
