What Makes the Flurry Special:
The Flurry Clownfish is the result of selective breeding to maximize white coverage and create a fish that appears almost snow-covered. The name "Flurry" perfectly captures the appearance—like a snowstorm of white swirling across an orange canvas. This morph represents the upper end of white expression in designer clownfish, with some specimens displaying 70-80% or more white coverage.
The Flurry is closely related to other high-white morphs like the Blizzard and Wyoming White, but is characterized by its particularly extensive white coverage and the delicate, almost ethereal appearance created by minimal orange showing through.
Coloration & Appearance:
The Flurry Clownfish displays breathtaking white-dominant coloration:
- Extensive white coverage typically ranging from 60-80%+ of the body
- Delicate orange accents peek through the white, creating subtle highlights
- White patterns flow across the head, body, and fins
- Bold black outlines accent the white patterns, creating dramatic contrast
- Each fish displays unique pattern variations while maintaining high white coverage
- Well-fed specimens display the brightest white and most vibrant orange accents
Pattern Variation:
While all Flurry Clownfish display exceptional white coverage, each fish is unique. Your Flurry may display:
- Nearly complete white coverage with minimal orange showing
- White patterns that extend across the entire head and face
- Dramatic white coverage on all fins
- Asymmetrical patterns that differ on each side of the fish
- White coverage ranging from 60% to nearly 90% of the body
- Varying amounts of orange accents creating unique highlights
This natural variation ensures each Flurry is a one-of-a-kind specimen with its own unique snowstorm pattern.
Collector Appeal:
The Flurry Clownfish is highly sought after by collectors who appreciate high-white designer variants. The extensive white coverage, dramatic appearance, and unique patterns make these fish stand out in any collection. Flurry Clownfish represent some of the most impressive white expression available, making them valuable additions for enthusiasts who want the most dramatic designer morphs.
Behavior & Personality:
Flurry Clownfish retain all the charming behaviors and hardy nature of standard clownfish. They're active, interactive, and may establish territories around rock formations or host anemones (Bubble Tip Anemones are a favorite, though hosting is not required). They can be kept as pairs or single specimens and are generally peaceful with other species, though they may show aggression toward other clownfish in smaller tanks.
Anemone Hosting:
Like other clownfish, Flurry Clownfish may form symbiotic relationships with host anemones including:
- Bubble Tip Anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor) - most popular choice
- Magnificent Anemone (Heteractis magnifica)
- Carpet Anemones (Stichodactyla species)
However, anemones are not required for the clownfish's health or happiness. Many Flurry Clownfish will adopt substitute hosts like leather corals, torch corals, or even powerheads if no anemone is present.
Feeding:
Flurry Clownfish are easy to feed and readily accept a variety of foods. Offer high-quality pellets, flakes, frozen mysis shrimp, and brine shrimp 1-2 times daily. A varied diet maintains their bright white patterns and vibrant orange accents while supporting optimal health. Foods with natural color enhancers help maintain the contrast and brightness of their coloration.
Pairing & Breeding:
Flurry Clownfish can be kept in pairs and may breed in captivity. Like all clownfish, they're protandrous hermaphrodites—all fish start as males, and the dominant fish in a pair will become female. If you're interested in breeding, purchase two fish of different sizes and allow them to naturally pair up. Breeding Flurry Clownfish can produce offspring with high white coverage, making them valuable in the breeding community.
Compatibility:
Flurry Clownfish are generally peaceful with most tank mates including:
- Gobies, blennies, dartfish, and other peaceful community fish
- Tangs, wrasses, and other semi-aggressive species
- All types of corals and most invertebrates
- Shrimp, crabs, and snails
They may show aggression toward other clownfish species, especially in tanks under 40 gallons. If keeping multiple clownfish species, provide plenty of space and visual barriers.
Tank Setup:
Provide live rock with caves and overhangs where the clownfish can establish territory. They appreciate having a "home base" whether it's an anemone, coral, or rock formation. Moderate water flow is ideal, and they adapt well to various lighting conditions. The Flurry's dramatic white and orange coloration looks spectacular under mixed lighting that highlights both colors.
Designer Genetics:
The Flurry trait represents advanced selective breeding for maximum white expression. These fish are bred from lines that consistently produce high white coverage, ensuring quality specimens with the dramatic appearance the morph is known for. The extensive white coverage is a stable genetic trait that's passed to offspring.
Captive-Bred Advantage:
All our Flurry Clownfish are captive-bred, ensuring superior health, disease resistance, and adaptability to aquarium conditions. Captive breeding also protects wild reef populations while providing you with a hardier, more resilient fish that's already acclimated to prepared foods and aquarium life.
Our Flurry Clownfish are carefully selected for exceptional white coverage and pattern quality, quarantined, and eating well before shipment. Each fish is backed by our live arrival guarantee, ensuring your premium high-white designer clownfish arrives healthy and ready to bring its dramatic snowstorm beauty to your reef aquarium.
