i think theres too much fiji chrysopterus in there for it to be clarkii.

Yes, precisely why I wasn't so sure and posted this question. I'll upload a video in a second.

Thanks, posted a video above.

I think Ron might be right, I was mistaken. The dorsal fins look too light in color to be A. clarkii

They were described to me as Clarkii by the fish store but I had doubts.

Looks more like Amphiprion bicinctus with those longer fins.

Don't chrysogasters have a yellow dorsal variant?
But it certainly has long fins ... Latifasciatus would be a total score!!! [emoji7]

They look very "orangey" to me, more like chrysopterus not latifasciatus.... Where were they sourced from, that would give a little insight possibly.

The store wouldn't know. They grabbed them at whosaler as Clarkii.

Might be really nice clarkiis ....[emoji12]

Amphiprion chrysopterus mixed with clarkii's??..whatever they are, beautiful specimens!

 

[CoralsAddiction]

I did a brief image and video search online and leaning towards them being Clarkii. The link from Quality Marine below helped me rule out certain specimen.

I'd love a pair of those but all three are too close in size.

Same store had this clown a while ago and was also marked as Clarkii

 

[ThRoewer]

The first two are most definitely not clarkii - I would say, if it came from a Pacific location it's one of the species that currently go as A. chrysopterus.

The fish in the last picture is clearly a clarkii (or what currently goes as clarkii - there are most definitely several subspecies if not full species lumped together under that name)

Which store had all those?
