I saw an exquisite black and white fish in my local store, dealer says it's a "clown fish", but I've never seen one with those colers, blk&whte with long blk fins on the bottom, any guesses?

you can get black perculas, and there are also a couple of species of damsels that look much like a clown in black and white, the 3 stripe is one that comes to mind
 
Yes, I have one of the 3-stripe damsels..very similar bodies to clowns. The 3-stripe has 2 kinds....black face and white face...unsure as to the reason why but I have a black face. Unlike most damsels..this one seems VERY mild mannered and he even eats directly from my hand. There is also a 4-strips damsel too but they seem to have slight differences in bodies compared to 3-striped.
