Help ID possible Perc Morphs

[Ovuel]

I was walking through one of my LFS today because I knew today was "truck day" and I did a double-take at a few of the fish they had in. After much consideration and relentlessly trying to remember what everybody said was what I took a chance and picked these two up for $50. Let me know if I am right in assuming they are morphs.

Sorry they are a little blurry due to shaky hands.

Thanks,

Rob

Here is a shot of the pair.

}:c( I thought the morphs occurred when all three white bars touched via the black?

 

[phender]

A morph is simply a color variation. So yes, they are a morph. Most clownfish fanciers would consider those the "onyx" color pattern. Some of the hard liners would insist on them having black dorsal fins before they called them onyx.

Someone with a lot of imagination might even consider the female slightly "picasso".

yea i guess there is a lil extra black on them but the best part is the withe bands and big saddles

 

[Ovuel]

I thought the larger one very much resembled a picasso, if not a full picasso at least a picasso mut }:c). That alone made it worth the decision to buy the two a worth while one. Since I had the thread when I first joined RC labeled "Reefing it on a budget" maybe we can call this a poor man's picasso.

GSM,

Do you mind expanding on what you mean by this please. The old lady and I are a little lost. Thanks once again.

 

[GSMguy]

the white sections that extend out from the stripes are saddles

One last attempt at a decent picture. This is it I promise.
