OK clown experts out there, I need you help. When I bought him, he was identified as Amphiprion clarkii. He does have yellow pelvic and swimming fins just like clarkii. However, as I watch him for the past couple of months I am not sure that it is clarkii.
Clarkii has three white bands, and mine only has two and if you really look at it there is the third band but it is really obscure. So there's a possibility that it is a clarkii. However, the middle band is slanted and extended to the back dorsal fin, just like sebae.
Before, I thought the only other possibility of species similar to clarkii was sebae. Now I think differently. On the tail of my fish there is a white spot. I have only seen this in allard's clownfish or Amphiprion allardi. This brings me back to a year ago when I had a sebae clown, and purchased a BTA with it, and it went in it. According to several clownfish directories that I know, sebae only lives in Haddoni anemone. After some research I found out that Amphiprion allardi live in BTA.
Another thing that makes me think that mine is an allardi clownfish is sometimes the white band is kind of blueish, just like allardi.
So yeah, those are my arguments those of you who have read more than I, please help me figure this out.
Thanks,
