Hi everyone.

I inherited a breeding pair of Clowns from my brother who decided to leave the hobby. I thought they were normal Ocellaris but now I’m not so sure. Would love to hear opinions. I count 11 dorsal and the females eyes (pictured) look Percula like to me.

That look like an Ocellaris pair to me. The orange eye seems to be light trick in this picture. Several more pictures of both fish will help determine the species.

Oh interesting! So the light can make it look as though they have less black in their eye? Will upload more pictures….

Ocellaris .

still can be aggressive demons and love to bite
Thanks both! Yes very aggressive. Female has drawn blood on my hands a couple of times! Male tries but he’s nowhere near as scary!

They are blood thirsty demons . Dracula is a fitting name .
If you can only imagine what she is called every time I am bitten by her
