pretty sure you have yourself a clarkii.

head band doesnt triangle enough and the mid bar is too wide.
 
I have to go with juvenile allardi. The tail and the way the center bar extends into the dorsal, and sweeps back, says juvenile allardi to me.
 
its is a juvi still about 2in. i just wasnt to sure but the tail was also making me think it is a allardi. i love this little guy doesnt back down to anything! anyone else want to give it a shot? i will try to get better picture.
 
Umm yeah that's def. a harlequin tusk there buddy.. but for real

Looks just like our clown, exactly idk what it is so knowing would be nice :)
 
Allardi clowns always have at least a little bit of yellow between the brown body and their white tail. Many times it is just a small triangle of yellow at the base of the caudal area.
Here is an internet pic that shows this triangle. Your fish is a clarki.

i agree with you all now that its a clarkii. i can see the difference with the wide middle band and the way the head stripe does not contour down. i might be picking up another larger one over the weekend.
thanks for the help
