Captive-Bred Platinum Percula Clownfish
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. The white body and black fins are very striking. It has adapted well to my tank with a small anemone. Very satisfied with the color and behavior.
Una Hart –
First time keeping a clownfish and this one stood out. No stripes, just pure white. The black fins show up nicely as it grows. Needs a stable environment but worth the effort.
Madeleine Hemmings –
Beautiful fish. The color is clean and vibrant. It’s peaceful and stays near the anemone. I didn’t expect such a clean white appearance. Highly recommend.

The fish looks great, but it seems shy at first. Took a few weeks to become active. Needs a calm tank with proper anemone setup. Good for experienced hobbyists.
