    I'm not sure where they came from. Got them from a fellow hobbyist.

    I got them from Rudy a few months ago. He said they were spawning regularly but the male would eat the eggs. I have asked him numerious times for the lineage but he never got back to me...so I have no idea where they came from to be honest.

    He said they were "Snow Onyx" as KING mentioned. I think they would be called snow onyx over black ice because black ice are A. ocellaris x A. ocellaris. Snow Onyx are A. percula x A. ocellaris: so, a snow onyx is a hybrid.

    so my question is... are they hybrids or ocellaris? If we know that, then we will know what the heck they are. I think this is where all of the heated conversations about hybrids start. Breeders not keeping track of what they have and communicating it properly to the buyer. Lineage matters big time with designer clownwfish.

    I believe they are snow onyx. I just looked at a few sources online. That's really cool to have a hybrid. Thanks for the comments guys!

    they are pretty, especially the one that is extreme... I think it was the male? Wish they would have worked out for me. From what I hear, a lot of males will eat eggs and eventually get over it but apparently this dude has been doing it for awhile.

    I will take a better look when I get home. They both have amazing blue coloration to them.

    Yeah, they had some thick blue lines...alpha corals talks about that being the best feature in good snow onyx
