If it has three stripes then it's not a sebae. A. sebae will never have a third stripe near the tail.
Some clarkis don't have a third stripe either, but it is a good starter.
Clarkis have a much higher profile, more forehead above their eyes. This is very evident in adults, not so much in small fish.
The colors on a sebae are yellow/orange, black and white. There is no blending, no shading, no gradiation and no browns or tan.
Sebae tails are more rounded like that of polymnus. Clarki tails are triangular.
Sebaes are mostly head. Clarkis are mostly body.
Here are some sebae pics they are not great at showing the body shape difference but it is the best I can do.
This female developed a black tail as she got older making look a little like a black saddleback, however a polymnus clown would have a white border on the tail and usually a third stripe.

Thanks Phender, so you agree with everyone else that both of mine are clarkii's?
