General info about White Bonnet Clownfish
The White Bonnet Clownfish is reported to be a naturally occurring cross between A. chrysopterus and A. sandaracinos. Although captive specimens rarely exhibit the bright, apricot-like color of their wild counterparts, they do retain the variable nature of the head stripe and cheek bars. Their name comes from the bonnet like white head stripe that the White Bonnet Clownfish has. These bonnets can also be exhibited as cheek dots or broken stripes. Frequently, these stripes turn blue with age. The White Bonnet Clownfish can reach a maximum length of about 4 inches.
