I know this is kind of noobish and I may know my own answer but what breed/cross breeds are gladiator clowns, I'm not to the whole designer clownfish thing and have only had your basic ocellarius and black and white clowns.

I think they are just standard ocy clowns that have developed the helmet through selective breeding. But not completly positive

Gladiator/Davinci/Fancy White are all the same thing just different names by their breeders. The Davinci gene is from standard ocellaris and brought out through line breeding etc.

Gladiator can also refer to extreme picasso percs.

Oh I thought those were called hoplite clowns??:headwalls:
Seriously though, this designer thing is getting out of hand. The naming is purely artificially and marketing-driven!

No they're gladiator picassos, I've never heard of warrior clowns.

Yeah there seem to be a name or two for each clown variation. However, what I find more confusing and I will go as far as saying disgusting is naming of different acropora and some LPS corals. It's hard to keep track of the names and prices that sellers charge for some of those corals are quite ridiculous.

It truly is a naming game. Technically breeding etiquette would be he first person to breed the said designer and named the designer clown this name should be utilized market wide. However all breeder make up their own names etc which stinks.
Gladiator was technically first used on a occelaris clown with davinci genes and shouldn't be used to describe a Picasso.
