Clownfish color ID Please

[reefobsessed]

New to these new color variations....Bought this clown from a big box store. Marked as a Snowflake, it is starting to get some blue on the edge of the black. What would the official color be. Thanks

Def looks like a snowflake oscellaris. My LFS has the same ones labeled that. I have seen "blacker ice" with those markings only black so I don't know how you would labe the orange ones as that. Maybe "oranger ice?"

I also bought a Black ice, still at the LFS untill my other tank cycles. It also has orange. Is the Black Ice black and white only?

 

[breaknrun911]

Yes the black ice looks like the one you posted about with the exception of less white in the center stripe.

This is a black ice oscellaris. Another type it could be is a "blizzard"

really?
blizzard clown is a platnium percula that came from a female picasso and a normal percula bred by sea&reef aquaculture

the ones in your pic look like blacker ice clowns? if they lose the orange maybe a phantom clown?

 

[breaknrun911]

I said "could" be was not a definite.

black ice is orange?

Yep, orange with usually black fins, characterized by the blue and black outline of the white regions.

wow...thanks everyone

I went onto seaandreef.com and looked at the designer clowns and saw that the names for them and compared them to my LFS and my LFS is waaaaay wrong. I recently purchased two davinci grade A clowns and my LFS had them labeled as "gladiator" clowns

Just checked out that website....according to those pics, mine is definately a Black Ice. And they do have orange.

 

[breaknrun911]

Never seen an orange one until that site

First one looks like an onyx snowflake, look at the black right under the dorsal fin
