Bluish stripes with yellow outline?

Has anyone heard of a two-banded (bicinctus) clown with bluish stripes and yellow outlines? I got the fish in the pic below - as a juvenile, she looked like all the others in the clutch, but at about six months her bands started getting a blue tint and then the thin middle band developed yellow outlines. The fish she is paired with has not developed these features so it isn't anything in the tank. Thanks!!

That idea has crossed my mind more than once (maybe I threw a larvae into the wrong tank)....but the other fish from that clutch did not develop the blue stripes - and the parents didn't have them either. I haven't tried working with another of their clutches (running out of room and we don't have basements in Florida). I do have a two-band/blue striped hybrid, but he doesn't have the yellow outline, has a darker body, and his tail is much lighter - he was the only one that made it from my hybrid breeding attempt.
