A. tricinctus

I had a pair of those once...they were way more gold/orange than whats in your pic...maybe they come from different regions..
 
A. tricinctus

Thanks everyone. If I'd had more tanks I would have bought several pairs. My wholesaler can get these from the Marshall Islands on a regular basis now. I have 35 tanks. My move to my new location has been postponed until February. I expect to be running about 100 tanks by the end of 2019. This is a very young pair. I expect the colors to intensify as they mature.
 
Only recently has haddoni been observed in the Marshall Islands, which extends their natural range. Tricinctus is one of those species which needs to be kept with an anemone, in my humble opinion. Otherwise they are very nervous and difficult to acclimate to aquarium life. This pair was never medicated, is very healthy and growing fast. Since I bought these at a wholesaler the day after they arrived direct from the collector, they were still fat and had not been stressed too badly. As with all my wild caught clowns I start feeding them BBS right away. Newly hatched BBS is a great food, I even feed to to my adult clownfish every day as a supplemental food source.
