Gladiator

Gladiator (Amphiprion ocellaris)

Description:
Gladiators aka Fancy Whites are A. ocellaris which have exaggerated barring. But unlike snowflake barring, the stripes of a fancy white have smooth edges.

Also Known As: DaVinci, Gladiator, Fancy White

Behavior:
Like all clownfishes, Amphiprion ocellaris is a sequential hermaphrodite. The largest individual present will exert dominance and become reproductively female. The next largest fish will become reproductively male. Remaining smaller individuals are usually tolerated but will not be reproductively active.

Compatibility:
Usually ignores reef invertebrates and corals. Clownfishes sometimes adopt various corals and algae as substitutes for host anemones.

Food:
Reefsolution specimens have been weaned to take aquarium pellets and flakes. Freshly frozen invertebrates such as ocean plankton, Mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and chopped squid will be readily accepted.
