Ok, picked this guy up a while back.. he looks like a tomato but in all the pics of tomato's i have seen either most the body black or if there was a "spot" on the clown (like mine) it was posistioned on the bottom of the clown (on the stomach region) and mine has it on his upper region (on his "back") anyway.. here is the pic:

I think I've seen this referred to as a fire tomato clown or something similar.....not sure though.

looks like A. ephippium to me.

 

[phender]

Yep, A. ephippium. Usually called fire clowns around here. It will soon lose all of the white stripe on its head.

thanks guys...
this forum is great

 

[Fishfreak218]

is it likely he would he host a S. Haddoni
( i know its hit or miss)

 

[OrionN]

S. haddoni is not a natural host for this species of clown. Natural hosts are E. quadricolor and H. crispa.

 

[phender]

Clowns in the tomato complex aren't usually very picky about what they choose as a host.

I had one host a condy the entire time I had here. that was one of the most evil fish I have ever had. she made my 6 inch maroon look like a saint. I contemplated leaving her in there when I converted that particular tank to a pred reef, but I am sure she just would have killed whatever I put in it.

My pair of fire clowns used a hadoni for a host.
