I like their tail fin because it reminds me of a tang... but other than that I have not seen a picture of them that really appeals to me

I have some magic beans

GSM..

You throw some magic beans in...Ill throw some golden eggs and maybe we can get a glimpse at ClownNut's Omanensis... Whaddaya Say?!

Does anybody else have some other magical things you'd like to throw in as a bribe?

I want to meet the guy willing to risk his own head to black market export these clownfish, Talk about Balls.

Yep.. If this guy really has an Omanensis..which we all know its impossible.. I will seriously eat my words and run down the street naked yelling "The sultan touched me!! the sultan touched me!"..

I guess we will see... Im 100% sure he has a Clarkii or something..

never say never guys

Pics

Trust me..in this case is totally and completely IMPOSSIBLE.

The odds of a A. omanensis making it to Minnesota are very slim..

I guess only pictures will tell... lets see them..

 

[Jovreefer]

he could have went diving, kidnapped one & smuggled it back into the states in a fake fat woman suite.

 

[ClownReef®]

Or maybe he is the sultan and he's messing with us...LOL

I have heard tales that omanensis sometimes strays beyond the protected waters of Oman, but as far as I know there aren't many collecting stations in Yeman either.

I have seen pics of chrysopterus that look very much like omanensis.

This pic was taken in the Solomon Islands. Comes complete with tail extentions, black ventral fins and yellow pectoral fins.

Hey clownNut, Where are you from in MN? I just relocated here over the course of the past 6 months.
