    I was sitting looking at the little reef this morning and the pair of clowns were all over the place. I go grab the camera and they are gone!!! Here's a couple of pics anyways. The female has just the yellow on her fins, the male has a yellow nose also. Okay, now what are they?? I bought them as Ocellaris, but I've been told they are not....:confused:

    Can't see them tahe well but they look like Amphiprion clarkii to me .. The male will be the smaller one and the female will be the larger one.. They will work that out and decide unless already a mated pair ? Oh and don't rush out for an anemone they will host in the mushrooms or another soft coral just as well as anything else..

    The yellow fins are throwing me. Never saw a perc or occellaris with yellow fins, only clarkiis and saddlebacks. Ive never seen b&w clarkiis but I have seem b&w saddlebacks. Hard to tell much from the pics.

    Thanks guys! I've had this pair for about 4 years now. Got a rose BTA shortly after. The BTA split about a year ago, so now I've got two.It's funny...one of the BTA's theylove, the other they really don't care for. Here's a couple of more pics of the male...
