Can you help me ID thise clown?

[skinpuppi]

First I need help posting the pic. I have one, but it is too large in memory. How can I change that, or will someone let me email them the pic to post it for me?

I cannot tell if this is a Chrysopterous juvi or an Akindynos?

Thanks,
Rob

Try http://www.photobucket.com. It will resize any pictures for you automatically, and is very easy to use.

Where did you pick this guy up?

Looks exactly like A. akindynos, or the Barrier Reef clownfish/anemonefish. Absolutely beautiful...nice find.

It looks like it has black pectoral fins though, that doesn't fit the A. akindynos coloring does it?

That is what I was thinking as well.
It is not uncommon for white tailed chrysopterus to become very washed out. The black ventral or pelvic fins would rule out akindynos in my book.

^^^A chysopterus morph was my first thought.

from fishbase.org on Chrysopterus:

"Juveniles are a dull orange."

imo, it's a juvi chrysopterus...
