Stripeless A. melanopus. Pictures anyone?

[acroporas]

Does anyone have photographs (wild or in aquarium) have links to photos of a stripless A. melanopus?

I am not talking about A. ephippium. This is the one I am looking for. http://wish.wodonga.tafe.edu.au/~kwaldon/mel003.htm

Oohh..I have seen a pic before, very cool fish. I have always wanted to get my hands on a pair. I believe the picture was in Gerald and Fautins book...cannot remember though, I will try and find it.

Wow, nobody has any pictures. Well, I decided to take the risk of getting some ugly fish and ordered a pair. I'll post some pictures when I get them.

Although I don't understand the point of a stripeless clownfish, I am curious how they would look. To me a stripeless clown is called a "damsel"

can't say that I have ever seen one other than the clown that ORA has.

This is not the same as ora's stripeless ocellaris.

This is a natural regional variant. Menanopus clowns from the coral sea do not have stripes. It is like the solid black ocellaris which are found in northern australia.

Did you ever get these? They look very cool to me. Would really like to see em when you do get them

I've ordered them, it'll be 2-3 weeks before they arrive.
