It looks like a mis-bar Amphiprion akallopisos, which isn't even found in the area that leucokranos are found.
 
I ordered some pink skunks from Bluezooaquatics sometime back and 2 of the 5 came in looking similar to that fish. From my understanding, genetic analysis has revealed that the skunk complexes tend to have varying degrees of other species genetic material, due to their tendency to spawn with other species. I would not call that fish a white bonnet either, which to me would be a first generation chrysopterus/sandaracinos hybrid or leucokranos/leucokranos or leuc/chrys or leuc/sand. Does it have something in it other than one of the regular skunk species? Maybe/probably.
