That anemone don't look bleach to me. It looks like an anemone in the wild. They can be very light under intense light and low nutrient level.
 
Are you thinking that the biggest clown was photoshoped in and is an ocellaris rather than a perc?

I'm not saying that is a valid assessment, I'm just asking.

This is what I was thinking.
 
correct phender.
you are consistantly a source of good information and the winner of this clownfish challenge. They superimposed an occillaris onto a photo of a family of percs. I dont know why but its true.
i always thought it and had it confirmed by the following link (read the last sentence at the bottom of the differances section)


the answer
 
Hmm.. Thats a totally different cover than what my "anemone Fishes and their Host Sea Anemones" book has. Mine was published by tetra back in 1994. The front cover of mine has a BTA, a hadoni, magnifica and a crispa.. All 4 are whiter than white. They must have change the cover, which would explain why i didnt get much of a response when I posted on the subject before.

oops,, I ust scrolled back up and noticed the "second edition". I must have the first addition (ill try to post a pic if anyone is interested in the first addition)

adtravels.. Thanks, but no need to feel honored. Im just a regular guy.. There are others here that have more experience on many subjects and should make you feel more honored.
 
Hi Rod, I have both the first and second editions and can confirm you have the first edition (the bleached anemones). Interestingly the editing wasn't 100% in the second edition as there are errors in the second edition that weren't in the first edition (for example, same picture of an anemone with captions labelling it as two different species).
 
the pic also highlights the fact that you cannot use the eye ring as a safe guide to differentiate between species, however gives alot of credence to the dorsal height method, that they use, I think it is at least a useful tool in helping with identification.

Clowns are great

No kidding. Mine looks different too. I didn't notice it until you brought it up, but one of the fish DOES look a little out of place. The eye ring would suggest that it is NOT a percula... but beyond that I'm not sure :)

You have to look at the fish live in person. Pictures are unreliable due to light condition and flashes etc. If I have the clownfish in front of me, I can alway tell. It have not fail me yet.
