Any idea what one would call this guy?

Going by my extremely limited knowledge, I am tempted to say it's a type of Occellaris Clownfish.

Particularly, it seems like a designer type, maybe an Extreme Snowflake or something. I am saying it's Occellaris based on the fact that most designer looking clownfish are either Maroons or Occellaris, or very close to those.

I say normal snow flake

Its a percula clownfish. I actually know the origins but it doesn't look like it is 'supposed to'.

It had the orange eyes like a perculia but the markings of a snow flake

 

[Reef or Die]

Snowflake

I would guess it to be a daVincci Oce

it's a perc, why do you need to know any more?

Its a percula clownfish. I actually know the origins but it doesn't look like it is 'supposed to'.

So I ordered two semi-picasso clownfish from LA of all places a few months ago. I received one that was a pico and one that was similar to yours. I asked around, did the research between the differences and still thought it was a pico. Finally I sent a picture to LA and asked them and they sent me the "oooops here's a credit" email.

Unless you know the breeder of that fish, my money is on it being a Oce of some sort, probably a snowflake.

well he knows the origin and it is a perc. even looking at it tells me it's a perc and not an ocy.

I do know the breeder and he is very well respected but definitely very unusual pattern. Certainly not what I was expecting and much different from the other offspring I have seen.
