We have usually been strong critics of the deformity-ladden ’snowflake’ clownfish produced by ORA but this new batch of nearly all white ocellaris clownfish are another matter. Contrary to what you might believe, this beautiful batch of white clownfish actually descend from ‘picasso’ clownfish which we have admired for having much better shape and far fewer deformities than their highly inbred black, naked and snowflake ocellaris brethren. As you can see from these still tiny 1″ specimens, these fish have a good shape of the head, well formed jaws, full sized gills and fins and an even-ness of color which is simply stunning. Don’t expect to see these beauties at your LFS anytime soon as the first release of these yet to be named ‘Picasso’ clownfish descendents will surely go to some of ORA’s best customers for stratospheric prices.

    Why you have to be hatin? These clownfish are very unique and I have no doubt they would command more respect from you if you saw them in person.
