Identifying clownfish

[Reefnub]

Unfortunately one jumped out of my QT earlier and now I want to find another one that is exactly the same. Can someone help me identify them?

The clowns are two snowflake (or semi-snowflake) ocellarist. A. ocellaris var. snowflake.

Thanks! I was thinking semi back Ice. I can't really tell the difference between semi-snow flake, snowflake, and semi-black ice.

Look more like black ice than snowflakes to me.

The big female looks like a perc, the little one might be a PNG perc based on the amount of black, but it's too blurry to tell.

What's a png perc the guy The guy at the fish store said it was a Picasso

A Papua new guinea percula. They usually exhibit more black between the stripes than other percs. One of the indicators (though not 100% definitive) is the bright orange irises of percs, versus black or darker orange of occys.

Picasso percs USUALLY have a misbar third stripe, but someone with more experience can elaborate, my only perc I've ever had was a standard.

Does your fish store have a lot of experience with sw fish? They may have been told one thing but given another. They are handsome fish nonetheless!

Yeah I paid 60 for it.

This is by no means a scientific method of determining type, but based on the price you paid i would say you got a png perc versus a picasso. Those designer clowns can run up to several hundred each.

From one of RC sponsor's websitr. 80 is still within reason for a png perc.

Good! All that really matters is how you feel about it anyway. I feel like sometimes people get too wrapped up in a name...if you are happy thats all that matters!

Here's a picture of the dead one =[

Hope it helps identifying what kind of clownfish he is, his white skin has a light blue tint to it.

 

[10galclowns]

Yeah that's true

It's the same one as the picture above, I believe it's a regular snowflake. I could be wrong as people are giving me different answers. Semi Snow, Black Ice, etc..

Dude there is so many clowns that look the same with the same name it's crazy!
