That in itself would be a form of "inducing" changes in the fish--it would probably take MANY years to work though enough generations considering the biology of clownfish to cause any real changes like this...so it would seem unlikely that this is happening. It is not out-of-the-question that one or both of the broodstock parents is a wild-caught variant that has a heritable genetic "defect."

Wiggawam: if you have this information, would you share it with us? I and others are surely curious...

I would trust oama on ORA not having these

For Saipin: ORA information can be found here: http://www.orafarm.com/clownfish.html
