Ocellaris Clown with White spot

[mixon13]

Hi everyone this is my first post here on saltwaterfish.com. I have my first two marine fish ever. I only planned on one but when my lfs tried to remove the one i picked they would not separate. I hate to breakup good things. They still get along perfectly in my tank. But ive come with a question. My male (smaller of the two) has a white spot between his 2nd and 3rd stripe. The owner of my lfs told me he was an abnormal. Is this bad or harmful in any way?

Here's a picture of him. Sorry about the blurriness. They just love to move around.

He is fine. It is a mutation in the gene that just affects coloring. Some clowns are breed in captivity for the different coloring and they give them fancy names and charge a lot more money.

I agree, it's just a mis-bar. Not harmful and very unique. Does it have the same pattern on the other side?
