To be, or not to be...Picasso clown?

[d-dzel]

I picked up this clown fish 3 days ago and I was told he was a Picasso clown. His middle white bar extends and touches the front white bar of his head which is pretty wide. He also has this big white spot under his belly that goes from front white bar of his head to the center of his belly.
How can I tell if it really is a Picasso clown?
Sorry for the quality of the pics

Looks more like a black onyx clown than a picasso clown.

Looks like a Grade A Picasso to me. I've got 2 of these in my nano and as they get older, they start getting more black in them.

What's the difference between grades? I've read about Grade A and B, but I haven't seen any pics of them. How do you tell them apart from grades?
Thanks!

I found a couple of images of some grade B's. Is it just based on how wide their white lines are?

With grade B you do not have any of the center lines touching the lines in the neck or tail. From what I've heard and seen, grade B's can easily become Grade A's as they mature and the lines and white areas expand.

Are there both picasso ocellaris and percula?

im not sure if he's a picasso or not, but he sure is cool looking.

So if he is a picasso, then there's a chance he might turn into a grade A then. I just noticed that the white line under him touches his front line and goes all the way almost touching the middle line aswell.

Thanks! That's what I thought, even if doesn't turn out to be one, I really like his colors
