The Picasso Orange Storm Clownfish is a striking captive-bred designer clownfish combining bold orange coloration with highly irregular white and black patterning. The pair pictured shows extensive white body coverage, bright orange fins and facial coloration, and individually unique dark markings.
Because designer clownfish are selectively bred for unusual pattern expression, no two Picasso Orange Storms are exactly alike. The white markings can vary substantially in shape and coverage, giving each fish a distinctive appearance.
For this listing, the most scientifically cautious designation is Amphiprion ocellaris × Amphiprion percula. Picasso-type designer clownfish are associated with A. percula, while Orange Storm is associated with A. ocellaris, and closely related Picasso Storm designer lines are marketed as Ocellaris/Percula hybrids. I would avoid assigning this pair to only one species unless your breeder documentation identifies the exact lineage.
This listing is for a captive-bred/tank-raised pair maintained at Pacific East Aquaculture in dedicated systems separate from our wild-collected fish. Our captive-bred and tank-raised saltwater fish are carefully observed and maintained under professional husbandry protocols prior to sale, without the routine conditioning and proactive treatment protocols used for wild-collected specimens.
Picasso Orange Storm Clownfish are hardy, adaptable, and reef compatible. They readily accept prepared marine foods and do not require a host anemone to thrive.
