Overview
The Blood Orange Clownfish (A. biaculeatus x ocellaris) is a new hybrid from ORA. It is the result of crossing a female Maroon Clown (A. biaculeatus) with a male Ocellaris Clown (Amphiprion ocellaris).
The Blood Orange Clownfish inherits desirable qualities from both parent species: large finnage of the Maroon and thick barring outlined with black from the Ocellaris. The offspring exhibit hybrid vigor as well as a unique red color. Their temperament seems to be somewhere between the Ocellaris and the Goldstripe Maroon, so care should be taken when choosing tankmates. Misbar specimens exhibit the same bright red coloration and beautiful finnage as regular Blood Orange Clowns but with incomplete center and caudal stripes or broken head bars.
