I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE ELSE HAS EVER SEEN THIS OR HAS ANY THREE SPOTS THAT ALSO HAVE THESE YELLOW STREAKS. AS ALWAYS THANX DAVE E

There are interesting color variations of Dascyllus trimaculatus (if that is the fish you are referring to). Depending upon where yours was collected, it may be maturing into one of the gold forms.

Thanx for the replys , I have yet to find anyone that has seen the domino's with these yellow streaks. They are pretty, I was kind of thinking about getting rid of them so I could put something else in the tank. I've had them since I first started the tank when I knew very little about the hobby and nothing at all about reefs but now I think I'll just keep them where they started out.

Here is a link to a very nice golden form specimen. Some will be mostly gold, others will just have golden lines--it varies dramatically, though.
