is there a grading system for clown shape?

[6Speed]

I've noticed some common clowns such as the ocellaris will each have a a slightly different shape to them particularly around their head/nose. Some have a very blunt nose and some have a sharper nose. Is there any preference? Is one considered more or less desirable?

I guess I'm likening this to how a purebred dog might have to have specific shaped snout or head, etc.

I've seen a lot of captive bred clowns -- mostly percula actually -- that have a more blunt head, like a bulldog. I personally think this is a defect and those should be culled, but again, that's just my opinion. In terms of shape, I think most would agree that the ideal shape is closest to what you'd find in the wild, which is not the blunt head.
