Orange Mocha Picasso Clownfish – Amphiprion ocellaris
The Orange Mocha Picasso Clownfish is a vibrant designer morph of Amphiprion ocellaris, celebrated for its deep orange body contrasted by irregular, mocha-toned white patterns and enhanced black edging. Combining the artistic barring of the Picasso line with the rich coloration of Mocha genetics, each specimen displays a one-of-a-kind “painted” look. Hardy, adaptable, and full of personality, it’s a standout addition to any reef or community aquarium.
