Hard to see if there is a cheek spine, but they sure look like a ligther colored pair of maroon clowns (Premnas biaculeatus)

maroons

Since it is a BTA and I think that that picture was taken in the wild... I would say maroons.

 

[LobsterOfJustice]

Thats what I was thinking. They just looked very light. I very much want a pair, but am afraid of them turning darker.

 

[MarinaP]

Bad photoshop and they are not even mature to be a pair.

 

[LobsterOfJustice]

Do the older Maroons generally turn darker, or are different individuals simply diferent shades?

 

[kkyyllee]

i have never seen a maroon that color i think it was just photoshopped, but different individuals will be different shades

 

[avp]

yeah, photo enhanced maroon clowns.


...must not make smart *** joke about maroon clowns being maroon in color when they grow up....

[mrbubbles]

ive seen that color at my LFS.they were wild, but a week later the pair turned marron. the guy there says it has to do with something in their natural food source.

Look like maroons to me. One of mine is that color, but they are quite young. . I believe their color will change quite a bit as they age, especially during the first year. I also recall reading something about females often being brighter than males, or that they become brighter after hitting that five year mark. Or something like that.
