Just out of curiousity.....what would the ratio be of babies being Snowflake as opposed to looking more like Ocellaris? Which is the stronger gene?

I thought that only the Percula clowns came with the different patterns for picasso and snowflake. Am I wrong and the ocellaris can do it too??

I dont have hard numbers on the ratio between the two. Its hard for me to count them and I am not having the best survival rates right now. 
 
Yes Ocellaris  can do it also. There are many different names and patterns for each fish.
