New melanopus pair (origin?)

[WDLV]

I'm having trouble getting a good shot in the QT. They look exactly like the one on the upper left of the below photo from wicki.
There are several variants throughout their range. Does anyone know where this particular variant originates?

Looks like coral sea/indonesia types. Thanks for posting that. I'm glad someone revived that DB.

I recall that the person who used to run it decided not to do it any more. Is there any reason you, I or some other clown nut couldn't put it back online? If someone knows who originally pieced it together I'd like to know if they'd give permission to reactivate it. I'd be happy to add it to my site.

BTW, here they are. Sorry for the bad pic. They're a touch lighter than what is depicted.

Sorry wrong post... wrong site!

nah she won't give you the permission. I asked. The owner is a dedicated "keep clownfish in the wild" type of person last I talked to her a year ago.

Well, good for her. I respect that but am addicted to my hobby like a street junkie. Not to mention I think we should be species banking reef organisms in dedicated biotopes for later distribution... but that's another discussion entirely.
