The above website (Somewhere in the middle of the page) has a video footage from the Marshall Islands with 3 tricinctus and a HUGE haddoni.

I will agree that just by the photo, it is difficult to make a good ID. However, if you go to the website the photo was taken from, there is a little more info. The picture is taken from a video done in the Marshall Islands and the photographer IDs them as tricinctus. There are only 4 species of clowns that live in the MI; pink skunks, tomatoes, chrysopterus and tricinctus.

I have an old book by Gerald Allen(1972) about a clownfish study that he did in the Marshall Island. There are a couple pics of juvi tricintus in a mertens carpet that look exactly like the ones pictured.

Submitted respectfully,

FWIW: The author also says that there is a bright pink haddoni on the DVD. (I'm going back to the website to see if I can order this video )
