What type is this guy? Thanks, T

Looks to be an A. clarkii variant.

it does look like a clarkii. can you get pictures that are easier to see it. its hard to see because its dark.

I've never seen a clarkii with a nose/mouth area that is so gray, they usually seem to maintain a bit of yellow there. Not saying it couldn't be a clarkii, but definitely unusual. The blueish nose almost reminds me of a latezonatus.

Any other thoughts from more experts?

Eastern Australia/Indonesia A. clarki variant.

i agree.

The from the second bar it isnt very narrow to be leaning towards, allardi, or chrysopterus, but there isnt much bar to tell from, none the less its gorgeous. Typically the male clarkiis will keep some yellow in its tail and its pretty damn yellow and still showing third bar...

A. clarkii for sure.

Misbarred clarks, much rarer than misbarred occelaris and percula. But they do exist, almost certainly this fish will have been with a mertens sea anemone.
Nice specimen.

I'm curious to know how you can tell that it's been with a specific kind of nem. Is it the color, misbar?

mertens are known to cause "melanistic" coloration in clowns.
