Black Storm Clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris) is a striking designer clownfish variety known for its bold black-and-white patterning and fluid, ink-blot markings. Like other ocellaris types, it is hardy, personable, and well-suited for most reef aquariums. As with all clownfish, it is best considered semi-aggressive, especially once a pair bond forms.
