I bought these two clowns as Ocellaris at my LFS. I am pretty sure that they are infact Ocellaris. But, what about the two banded one? I have never seen nor heard of a two banded Oc. Will the third strip appear with maturity? The three stripe one is now shaking when the two stripe one comes near so I think a pairing has been made.

it's possible, anything can go with alot of t.r. fish.

I have a two banded ocellaris, but unlike yours it's only head & tail :D

Also has another dominio ocellaris (middle bar is jsut one bit circle) like that salt brand's picture.

As for prices, they demand premium prices for their one-of-a-kind appearances :D
 
It gets easier to id them after awhile, but based on the body structure and the eyes don't have as much black as an ocellaris would, mainly I go by the dorsal fin. Check this pic out to compare, it's a misbar ocellaris breed by Kathy's Clowns:
