I believe the Black Onyx True Percula Clownfish (Amphiprion percula) has the same care requirements as a True Percula Clownfish, also (Amphiprion percula) ... Simply a different color scheme.
Minimum Tank Size: 30 gallons
Care Level: Moderate
Tank Conditions: 72-78°F; sg 1.020-1.025; pH 8.1-8.4; dKH 8-12
Max. Size In Aquarium: Up to 3"
Color Form: Black, Orange, White
Temperament: Semi-aggressive
Reef Compatible: Yes
Diet: Omnivore
Origin: Papua New Guinea
Family: Pomacentridae
The Black Onyx True Percula Clownfish originates from the reefs of Papua New Guinea, and are a hard find in the trade. They are a beautiful species of clownfish with the classic patterns of black, orange and white. The female of the pair is the larger of the two fish, and will also be the aggressor of the two. This is an uncommon find, and will add beauty to any saltwater fish only or reef aquarium. The Black Onyx True Percula Clownfish does best in an aquarium of 30 gallons or larger with plenty of live rock. They may form relationships with the following species of anemones; Carpet (Stichodactyla sp.), Sebae (Heteractis crispa), Bulb (Entacmaea quadricolor), or Ritteri (Heteractis magnifica). Always be sure that your aquarium and lighting system will support the needs of the host anemone before incorporating one into the aquarium. The Percula Clownfish, like several other clowns, can be bred in the aquarium, and is one of the most common "starter" fish for saltwater breeders. They will typically spawn within the proximity of the base of the host anemone. The fry are very small after hatching and must be fed rotifers or natural copepods in order to survive. In nature, the Percula Clownfish is an omnivore. Offer a varied diet of mysis and vitamin enriched brine shrimp, and a quality flake food.

rod sells his own food and its supposed to be amazing, but in my mind it cant be much better than other DIY foods unless he genetically engineered special foods for it...
they host readily, esp for tank raised clowns... mine was in my torch within 2 week and switched to spending most of his time in my frogspawn the day i got it...

I wonder if the ORA Glow food is the same as the Vibra-Gro. Vibra-Gro I think used to be made by Harbor Branch but is now being marketed by Rea Sea.
If it is the same stuff, it was pretty much THE food that allowed CB fish to compete with wild caught. Before Vibra-Gro, the colors of CB clowns were very dull, almost brown in most cases.
After I started feeding it the LFSs could not believe my baby ocellaris were CB.
