Platinum Percula Clownfish – Captive Bred 1.5″ WYSIWYG
You’ve never seen a captive-bred clownfish like this before! The Platinum Percula is a magnificent white variation of the Percula Clownfish, developed through years of selective breeding of the famous Clownfish. These striking fish do not exhibit the characteristic striping of the species. Instead, they are typically pure white from head to tail. As Platinums mature, they develop beautiful black fins that stand out against their white body and orange face.
Amphiprion percula embodies true beauty. However, it is the famous symbiotic relationship between the Percula Clownfish and various anemones that truly captures the imagination of most aquarists. In the wild, Percula Clownfish are commonly associated with anemones such as Heteractis magnifica and Stichodactyla mertensii.

The fish arrived healthy and active. It has a very clean white body and developed black fins within a few weeks. It’s very peaceful and stays near the anemone I added. A beautiful addition to my tank.

First time keeping a clownfish and this one stood out. No stripes, just pure white with orange face. The black fins are subtle but noticeable as it grows. I’m happy with the color and calm behavior.
Steven Skinner –
Great quality for a captive-bred fish. It’s more vibrant than the store-bought ones I saw. The fish is active but not aggressive and pairs well with my anemone. Highly recommend.
