what type of clownfish are they?

[shoura]

Hi all!
I've jsut aquired my first fishes: a pair of clown fishes--and I would like help identifying what sort they are as my Fish shop said they hadnt ever seen any like these before....
Thanks for any help you can give me!
(Hope I manage to attach the photo correctly---and apologies for the poor quality of the shot---will be studying my camera handbook closely over the next few days!!)

That is very strange because you got a very young pair of A. percula, or True Percula. Their coloration is quite nice. They almost cerntial to develope lots of black coloration and should develope into an Onyx Percula. The three bars should further develope also.
Onyx Percula are Percula that hve black coloration connect the three bars and also have the dorsal fins black also. Many people desires these coloration and they are usually sale for three to four times the price of the other Percula.
I think the LFS did no know this is very strange because they almost certainly captive breed clowns.
