Phantom Clownfish
The Ghost Clownfish, or Phantom Clownfish, is a standout for the way the reds and black colors pop on the solid white body. The patterns vary with each fish, some accents almost all black or orange on a primarily white body, and offspring are equally various. Accented with orange fins and noses tipped with black coloration, the Phantom Clownfish shows great contrast in the home aquarium.

The Phantom Clownfish is a striking addition to my tank. The color patterns are unique and change slightly between individuals. It’s active and doesn’t stress other fish. Feeds well on frozen foods and has adapted quickly to the environment.

I was impressed by how vibrant the red and black markings are against the white body. The fish is calm and stays near the coral. It accepts a variety of frozen foods and looks great in a 35-gallon tank.

The fish arrived healthy and showed no signs of stress. The coloration is more dramatic than expected, with some fish having strong orange accents. Easy to care for and fits well in a community tank.
