Any heard of Long Fin Clarkii

[Duce]

Saw these fellows at a online store...they seem neat...wondering anyone heard of them or have experience with them.
Judging from the pic it is a juv.

I've seen them a couple of times now. I've been trying to figure out if they really are a clarkii, or if they are a hybrid. Some of the markings make me lean towards a hybrid.

Do their fins stay that long when they grow up?

 

[hottuna]

one place calls them "veil finned".. vanuatu seems to be one source for these...

My LFS (Phishy Business) sold them as Venautu veil finned clarkiis. I've also seen them sold as Red Sea clarkiis. I haven't seen a full grown one though to know if the size of the fins remains so pronounced. They are gorgeous juveniles, but I'm wondering if they will grow into their fins in time, similar to the way some of the other clarkii complex fish who start out with long fins do.

I can tell you all that the clarkii from that picture is from the indo & surrounding areas.

Not Redsea or Vanautu

My clarkii's. Female is 3- 3.5 inches roughly. They have some pretty long fins.
