The Black Frostbite clownfish is a designer variety of the common clownfish, known for its striking appearance featuring a mostly white body with black markings, often in the form of spots or "buckshot," and a dark, sometimes black, face and fins. As the fish matures, a unique icy-blue color develops around the borders of the white areas, giving it the "frostbite" or "ice" look. These hardy, reef-safe fish are peaceful and easy to care for in a saltwater aquarium, readily accepting various captive-bred diets.
