    Huh, that's the first I've heard of this. Do all clowns have this with age or just maroons?

    Most clown species exhibit stripe loss/alteration with age but the teardrop look I have only seen on Gold stripe Maroons.

    Awwwww that stinks Chum. Sorry for your loss but you did a wonderful job keeping it that long. I know the kind of dedication and responsibility that entails.
