Wyoming White is the rarest mainstream designer clownfish strain. Pure white body with no visible bars - a striking inverse of the standard ocellaris. Captive-bred only (the mutation is recessive + slow to scale). $250-600 per fish makes it one of the most expensive captive-bred marine fish.
Wyoming White is a recessive line bred from melanistic ocellaris carrying the white-body gene. Multiple breeders have stable lines - Sustainable Aquatics in Tennessee + Proaquatix in Florida + ORA are the major US captive-breeders.
The mutation is slow to produce - juveniles take 6-12 months to develop full white body. Many fry from Wyoming White x Wyoming White pairings still develop standard ocellaris coloration (recessive recovery).
Juvenile (1-2 inch): $250-400.
Adult (3-4 inch): $400-600.
Bonded pair: $700-1,200.
Among the most expensive captive-bred marine fish in the hobby. Premium reflects breeding difficulty + collector demand.
Standard ocellaris husbandry: 20+ gallon tank, salinity 1.023-1.025, temperature 74-80F, peaceful tank mates. Wyoming Whites are MORE peaceful than standard ocellaris (selection effect from captive-bred lineage). They host most clownfish-compatible anemones.

Browse Wyoming White Clownfish listings →Yes - it's a captive-bred color morph of Amphiprion ocellaris. Wyoming Whites can pair with standard ocellaris but offspring will mostly be standard pattern (the white mutation is recessive).
Slow-to-scale captive breeding + collector demand. Each fish takes 12-18 months from spawn to sale-ready size. Recessive mutation means many fry from Wyoming White parents revert to standard pattern - the per-spawn yield of saleable Wyoming Whites is low.
