The Sea \u0026amp; Reef Longfin genetics are unique and create a Longfin Clownfish that is aesthetically pleasing to look at due to the flowing outline of their beautiful fins. Furthermore, the longer fins do not impede normal behavior or swimming ability of the clownfish. The common morphology for all our Longfin Clownfish is that the fins are only slightly elongated as early juvenile fish, but their fins continue to grow as the fish grow and mature. The fully grown fins on a mature clownfish are spectacular and it can be mesmerizing to watch a pair of longfin clownfish swim around and interact with the swaying tentacles of their anemone. The Longfin Ice Storm Clownfish was made available to hobbyists on October 2, 2020. It is a longfin variation of our \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.seaandreef.com\/marine-ornamental-fish\/clownfish\/midnight-lightning\"\u003eMidnight Lightning Clownfish\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Creation of Our Longfin Clownfish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe mutation that created our line of longfin clownfish came from a single fish. In December 2013, our Hatchery Manager Brandon Weik was observing a tank of several thousand Darwin Ocellaris Clownfish (also called Black Ocellaris or Black \u0026amp; White Ocellaris) when he spotted a fish that looked very different from his brothers (all clownfish are born male). It had long flowing fins and was being harassed by the other fish, probably because of its different look. The fish was isolated and later paired up. A story was published about our findings in the April 2014 issue of Reef Builders.

It is relatively peaceful and hardy. They thrive in saltwater aquariums with or without an anemone present.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeeding\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"textexposedshow\"\u003eMost clownfish are omnivorous feeders, meaning that they will consume a variety of different food types. In nature the diet of clownfish consists of crustaceans (such as copepods and amphipods), algae, polychaete worms, and leftovers from the anemone’s meal. Our captive bred fish are conditioned to eat a variety of aquarium diets including pellets, flake food, frozen Mysis shrimp, and frozen brine shrimp. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAquarium host anemones\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLongfin Midnight Lightning Clownfish will readily accept a wide variety of host anemones and many hobbyists keep it with the popular and hardy Bubble Tip Anemone (\u003cem\u003eEntacmaea quadricolor\u003c\/em\u003e).
