ORA Snowflake Ocellaris

[triggerfish1976]

ORA is finally releasing some of their own Snowflake Ocellaris clowns. My LFS got in their first ones and they look real nice.

The little buggers wouldn’t stop moving to let me take a good pic.
I haven't even seen the ones form England for a while so it was a nice surprise to see an another company breeding them as well.

what's the going rate for this pair from your LFS?

 

[triggerfish1976]

Not 100% sure. I think they are comparable to the ones from England.

 

[myreefcentral]

i might be interested if you can find out the price for me...do they have a website?

 

[reefman13]

They run about $900 for a pair here in CT.

 

[triggerfish1976]

I checked and they are going for $500/pr. Are the ones in CT the ORA bred variety or the ones from England?

 

[myreefcentral]

that's a hit in the wallet...

are these the same as the picasso clowns? they look the same to me, but i'm no expert. those are 90$ each down here.

snowflake and picasso are different kinds. Snowflakes are ocellaris and picasso are true perculas. They do look real nice, but i wound't pay 500 for a pair of any kind of fish. The max for me is 200 lol. Nice fish though.

i got my mated pair for a little over $200...i got two smaller picassos for $200 exactly...so $200 can get you a pair of picassos...

i've heard that you can't get them from england anymore. i've been looking for a couple months and i know a guy with a direct connection to the england supplier and he said you won't c them anymore. i've been waiting on the ORA ones since and its good to c they r releasing them. i'm leaving for my lfs now.

 

[Slakker]

I just don't get it...

Cool looking fish but! Well i guess i have a red haddoni that was 275 still couldn't justify the clowns being more expensive then the anemone!

 

[weluvfish54]

$100 a pair here.

Hex - you dog, you need to post some pics of your new fish.

 

[myreefcentral]

nice steal...

 

[reefman13]

The ones in CT are both, England and ORA, but I know for a fact that I have seen a pair of snowflakes go anywhere from $1,000 to $750 for a pair from ORA.

What kind of price do they have on the ones from England?
