mocha clown?

[EMUReef]

My LFS had a few of these the other day, i think it was like 2 for 100$.

Anyone got any in their tank?

Is a 12g Nano suitable for 2?

I got a pair about 3 weeks ago. They are pretty cool cause they are different. Thats what I paid for them.

Yes a pair could go in a 12 gal tank, if they are the only fish and you keep up with WC. I have the same tank and have two B/W clowns in the 12 gal nano with a brain coral and a couple of snails and hermit crabs, I can still add more LPS or soft corals but I am maxed out on fish.:fish2:

Ive never seen an occy x perc hybrid that looked different than there parents. I would have a hard time telling they are even hybrids if it was not for the sticker on the tank.

Edit:

Black ocellaris x percula.

go there, the only thing i could find that looks like them. there not really black, their mocha, like a coffee color almost.

Ill take a picture of some tomorrow for you guys.

emu, those pics look like juvenile black and whites. I've seen them that color before, and when they 'grow up' they darken.

I could be wrong though. (Happens.. lol)

 

[fishieness]

here you guys go!

The same company also breeds a white percula similar to the ORA platinums. Here's a picture.

And a picture of the platinums for comparison.

and a few more of the mochas!

PS: these guys are definitely not just juvi blacks.

 

[romsoccer12]

those are black and whites. maybe mochas are the cross between a black/white ocell and a orange/white ocell = brown?

no they are not. They are mochas. And yes, it's a cross between a black and a normal ocell, as rubbagagow mentioned.
