Tank raised Oscellaris (with a dark shadow color)

[jcm1229]

I picked up a pair of tank raised oscellaris a while back. All the Oscellaris I've owned or seen in the past were a solid orange. One of my pair is orange except most of the body is an orange/charcoal color. I'ts not a black oscellaris changing but has been this way for the 3 months I've had it. Is this a normal color morph, or might this be a hybrid with a Black Oscellaris parent?

Thoughts?

Would you be able to post a pic so the fine people here might be better able to assist?

There are lots of knowledgeable people here.

It's a common color variation of A. Ocellaris. Think of it kind-of like a "tan". If you do a google image search you'll find others with the same coloration. It's normal.

Then you would have Onyx (Perc) clowns not Ocellaris

You may also have one that did not have optimal nutrition. Cyclop-eeze can help if that's the case.
