Sea & Reef Tangerine Albino Picasso Clownfish - Grade A

Name
Tangerine Albino Picasso Grade A Clownfish.

Scientific Name
Amphiprion percula

Description
Sea & Reef is proud to present the Tangerine Picasso Grade A Clownfish, which is the first ever produced hypomelanistic percula clownfish. Hypomelanism is a genetic mutation that results in reduced pigmentation. This is especially noticeable with any black pigmentation. However, an effect can also be seen to the red body coloration, which turns lighter orange, hence the name Tangerine Clownfish. Sea & Reef is the leading producer of numerous hypomelanistic (Tangerine) clownfish variations including Tangerine Ocellaris Clownfish, Tangerine Storm Clownfish, Tangerine Snowflake Ocellaris, Tangerine DaVinci A Clownfish, Tangerine DaVinci A Clownfish, and Tangerine Solar Storm Clownfish. Until now, all Tangerine clownfish variations are of the species Amphiprion ocellaris. The Tangerine Picasso Grade A Clownfish is the first Tangerine version of the Amphiprion percula. The hypomelanistic mutation of our Tangerine Picasso Grade A was caused by a similar, but independent, mutation. There is a complete lack of black pigmentation except for the pelvic fins, which appear smoky. Some black pigmentation also remains in the eyes, which appear more brown than black. The body coloration of the Tangerine Picasso Grade A Clownfish is a bright yellow-orange color and is even lighter than the Ocellaris version of tangerine clownfish. Our staff has affectionately nicknamed them "lemons". This Sea & Reef signature designer Clownfish was released on April 12, 2024.
