Jeradmccarty Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Ok so i was just at my buddies store and someone had dropped off this clownfish for him to sell off and it is very interesting, its like a cinnamon clown but its stripes are blue, and i mean shiny blue almost as blue as a blue reef chromis. Someone please identify this fish so i can give him the heads up. Link to comment

Jeradmccarty Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 so no one can tell me why the picture is of a clownfish with blue stripes, lol Link to comment
patback Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I'm not well versed in clowns but I think it's snowflakes..... A grade A snowflake will turn bluish around the white/black line. Maybe it's skmethjng similar to that. Link to comment

Troll lolol. http://www.orafarm.com/products/fish/clowns/premium-snowflake/ I've see. Clowns with a much much bluer tone and also further into the white than the stock photo they are using. I don't get where the "troll" comment comes from. Edit: oooookay after a nights sleep now I see it. You read it as me saying it is a snowflake. I meant to say whatever makes the snowflake turn blue may have made the stripes turn blue. It was just a stab in the dark. Link to comment
caietaro Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Looks like maybe Amphiprion chrysopterus to me - orange-fin anemonefish, or blue-stripe anemonefish. The ones from the solomon islands have white tails. Link to comment

The ones from the solomon islands have white tails. thats what i was thinking but why is the fish a dark charcoal color with blue stripes, all the orangfin clowns i look up look ver similar to this guy but none are this dark grey charcoal color. could it possibly be a oarngefin hybrid with a muchala clown Wtf, looks like it's 20 years old. Reminds me of Amphiprion akindynos. Haha it is huge, its almost as big a full adult males hand, it must be old, my buddy who own the lfs told me the person who dropped it off to him is a heavy hitter in the reefing world. kinda strange. and yes he told him this thing was at least over 10 years old Link to comment
