  1. Confusing color pattern on the little guy. A name would make him happy ;) Thanks.post-3384-1298059329.jpg

  2. Juvenile Saddleback anemonefish, Amphiprion polymnus, perhaps?

  3. Thanks Marli. That was my guess from the white on rear dorsal, but tail coloration is confusing. He/she was pretty small.

  4. possibly a genetic mutation on the tail. Common in clownfish. Oddities are very popular with aquarists.

  5. I think the tail color is probably a normal variation. There are not many pictures of juveniles of these guys out there, and every one is slightly different...

  6. Here's some footage I shot of one in Lembeh. Very similar but the dark part of the tail of yours is not as dark.
Nauticam
