Got him at Petco with the “Assorted premium clownfish” description
 
If you go to cultivated reef and look at their clowns you could find a match. Thats what I do 🙂
 
That is a Snowflake. Black Snowflakes are of course black.
This is my Black Snowflakes pair

Black ice would be more toward the yellow orange shade w mocha darkening as ages,
Yours is a reg orange snowflake
 
The amount of beautiful clowns out there are crazy. This is my pair Im putting in my biocube when it finishes cycling. No clue what the female is but she is stunning! The other larger male is beautiful too! And the little one is just a regular occ 🙂

As I understand it (maybe wrong). Frostbite are orange snowflakes like with orange/black spots inside the white. and black ice are similar/equivalent as frost bite but black Ocellaris.

Yeah I’m trying to determine if he’s snowflake or black ice but I’m leaning black ice due to the amount of black and mocha shading on top

Honestly I believe its black ice. And reason I say that is because I am in business of selling them and we get black ice from multiple breeders and not 1 look alike. Pattern from Ora to sea and reef to proaquatics etc varies. Knowing that it looks much more like a black ice we get than snowflake.
 
Absolutely stunning clowns!
Thank you! Saw them at my LFS, someone took their tank down. I if course fell in love with them and took them home with me. They are just waiting on my biocube to be up and runnin.
