The white cap clownfish, Amphirpion leucokranos, is a very rare, naturally occurring hybrid clownfish “species” which is seldom seen in the aquarium trade. You can imagine ORA’s delight when Brian Griffin offered them a spawning pair of white cap clownfish which he had raised and conditioned for three years at Ocean Gallery II in New Jersey.

Read the original heartwarming story of the lost white cap clownfish pair and let’s all send them good vibes so they can get back to spawning real soon.
