A normal Ocellaris Clownfish black pigment between the white and orange stripes. Due to a mutation, the Tangerine Albino Clownfish do not have black pigment between the stripes. This gives the Tangerine Albino Clownfish a unique and different look. The black pigment is also strongly reduced in the fins. The fact that some black pigment is still present in the fins and eyes suggests that the mutation did not destroy the melanin synthesis pathway completely. Nevertheless, the Tangerine Albino Ocellaris Clownfish is considered an albino clownfish. The greatly reduced black pigment makes them very distinct from the regular Ocellaris Clownfish.
