The standard ocellaris clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris) is the most-sold marine fish in the hobby. Wild-caught: $15-40 at chain stores, but ship-stress mortality is higher and hosting behavior is variable. Captive-bred standard: $25-80 from ORA, SA, or Reef-Raised - hardier, acclimate within 7-14 days, accept varied diet immediately. Designer ocellaris: $50-2,000+ depending on morph and grade. The most popular designer morphs (Snowflake, Frostbite, Black Ice) sit in the $80-300 range.
