Need help choosing a new clown fish for my reef tank.

My wife has been incredibly picky about clownfish. She only has a final say about the corals in the tank(I pick the fish), but I'd like something beyond the generic "nemo/marlin" fish as well. She has already expressed her "disgust" about perculas and other orange and whites (like picassos and snowflakes), and I will not have a maroon or a tomato beating my other fish to death. I have a black background in my tank or I'd love to have another saddleback. Any suggestions?
Tank: 75 gal w/ 106 lbs of liverock and corals
Mates: 3x Blue Chromis
1 Lyretail Chromis
Royal Gramma
Sixline Wrasse
Aurora Goby
Crabs, starfish, snails, conch's.

Shy is ok. Percs tend to be a bit overbearing once they establish themselves anyway. I like it. Thanks! I'll start my pre-fish buying research now.

Haha.... $115 is actually a really good price for them. I know that a breeding pair of them sold for $5000 a few years back!

skunks are cute... or tomato or cinnamons (though they are a bit meaner)

I'm getting a new pair for my red sea max since my old pair died during the transition into a new tank and I'm going with either 2 picasso clowns or 2 onyx clowns
