Sustainable shouldn't have a snowcasso. My understanding is that Doni patented that name.

Not sure... I'll say this though, I know she applied for the patent lol Heck, people have enough trouble telling the difference between an A perc and distant relatives, I'm sure people are going to call it whatever they want. But.... I have never seen Sustainable offer a Snowcasso. Sorry. They have their own names. I also know when Coral (I think it was Coral) magazine published a cheat sheet on clowns, Doni commented on it, and it was incorrect. Anyway, Snowcassos are hers.

Most up to date info on SA clowns I have seen is this.

SA really needs to update their site. They have something called SA Snow Onyx

As far as I know, Sustainable Aquatics has never offered a fish under the name "Snowcasso." As wdt2000 points out, SA does offer a fish called an "SA Snow Onyx" (a cross between an Onyx percula and a Snowflake ocellaris-pic below).
Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that "Snowcasso" is the name Doni has given to a particular variant of percula bred from the ORA Picasso clown, it being a "pure" A. percula clown and not a hybrid.

You can't patent a name of a fish. A patent is an exclusive right to produce and sell an invention. Although she may have been the first to market a "snowcasso" she certainly did not invent clownfish. You also cannot patent anything that occurs naturally.
The term "Snowcasso" is a trade name (trademark) which means that the name "snowcasso" indicates that the fish has direct lineage to Doni. It would be a trademark infringement if another company is calling their fish a snowcasso, but they can sell the same fish, they just have to call it something different.
