I can't really id these, but I did see one at a local fish store last week. Lady their said they were rare and told me the name, but I don't remember, plus, who knows if she knew what she was talking about.

Amphiprion chrysogaster maybe?

Looks like the black version of A. polymnus (black saddleback)

I thought A. polymnus too.

 

[Winwood]

Definitely polymnus.

The second pic is definitely A. polymnus (black morph). The first picture looks like one of the polymnus x sebae hybrids that proaquatix was breeding for a while.

I agree on the second...

You know what I think you are right on the first. I was confused by the missing third stripe.

Thanks for the link. I found it interesting that in the abstract it said that upon microscopic examination all fish were neuter, but I couldn't find any mention of it in the text of the experiment. I would have expected all fish to be neuter since they weren't raised to adulthood. They made it sound like it was a result of hybridization.
