Da Vinci Clowns At Reef City

I just got back from Reef City and saw the most beautiful clown. It was perfection and I don't even like clowns. The lines and colors were so dense and perfect. If you are in the area, stop by and take a gander at it. It's a sweet looking fish.

Here's the story Reef Builders did on them.



What do you get when you combine art and science? The answer is DaVinci Ocellaris Clownfish from Sea & Reef Aquaculture. This gorgeous designer clownfish is a variant of Amphiprion ocellaris. The body color and general morphology of Sea & Reef’s DaVinci Ocellaris Clownfish are similar to that of the regular Ocellaris Clownfish, but the stripes are very different. The white stripes have been replaced with interesting curves and patterns - much like an artist painting broad strokes of white paint on a bright orange canvas. No two fish are exactly the same. The DaVinci Ocellaris Clownfish are a cross between our Wyoming White Clownfish (A. ocellaris) and Ocellaris Clownfish (also A. ocellaris).

You might ask why we named this beautiful morph "DaVinci Ocellaris Clownfish". Well the hobby already have a Picasso Clownfish (A. percula) named after the famous painter Pablo Picasso. The name DaVinci was inspired by the famous Italian renaissance painter, scientist, architect, and pioneer Leonardo da Vinci. The DaVinci Ocellaris Clownfish combine the beauty of art and science.
