Feeding & Compatibility
Platinum Storm Clownfish are omnivores and readily accept a varied diet of quality marine pellets, frozen mysis shrimp, enriched brine shrimp and marine flakes.
They can be kept individually or as a compatible pair and generally coexist well with other peaceful marine fish. Like most clownfish, they may become territorial once established, particularly when defending their chosen area of the aquarium.
Looking for a truly special clownfish? The Platinum Storm Clownfish combines the unmistakable personality of an Ocellaris Clownfish with one of the most striking colour patterns available in the marine aquarium hobby.
