what kind of clown is this?

[htwheels]

I bought it as a saddle black at petland. It is a very acive fish and went to my anem within a few weeks, thanks casey

Id say blk saddle back, Polynemus Id b careful cause they are aggressive w/ anemones and your looks a bit un healthy!

 

[5h3rW1N]

i would say an Amphiprion allardi mixed with a ocellaris

 

[tpdpercula]

Charlie you are correct, it is a Saddleback which people sometimes list as Black Percs

 

[htwheels]

thanks guys i was just wondering because i was looking at the thread on the latezonatus clowns and mine looks very close to some of those in the thread, and some of the other saddle backs i have seen at the lfs have a different looking face, oh well i love it and it was half the cost of the b&w clowns i was looking at, also how is my anem looking un healthy i have had it for a while and it seems to be pretty happy

It's bleached. Do you feed it?

 

[Slakker]

It's very bleached. What lighting do you have it under?

 

[htwheels]

i have a coralife 2x65 watt pc fixture with one dual 10k and one dual actinic i feed it homemade frozen food that has all kinds of fish and green in it

 

[Slakker]

How long have you had it?

 

[htwheels]

3 or 4 months i think

 

[Slakker]

And it's been white the whole time?

Might need more light.

 

[Titus77]

Did you buy it white?

 

[htwheels]

yes the lfs had it in a tank with crappy lights

 

[Haddonisreef]

Huh?


Anyway, it is 100% A. Polymnus (black variant). Great fish with great personality.
