chrisjj625 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Is this normal. You can see it in the picture the bar closest to the tail is grey no joke. I have no idea is this good, bad, unheard of? thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment
reeftankguy Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Did it have it when you bought it? If so... pretty cool IMO! Quote Link to comment
chrisjj625 Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 Honestly I dont know. I know I should, but I dont oh well. Quote Link to comment
swimmer4uus Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Have you changed anything lately? Clowns can color up differently under different environments, and if a change has taken place in his, different colorations may begin to show up. Only slight ones though. Either way...he looks pretty awesome. I'd love to pair him up with my WC Female. Quote Link to comment
chrisjj625 Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 I think she is a female because she is bigger than my other one sorry Quote Link to comment
swimmer4uus Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 DANG! But the coloration changes normally happen with the orange part of their bodies getting slightly darker, or lighter depending on a number of variables. Never seen any documented cases of the bars changing color. Quote Link to comment
chrisjj625 Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 it stays grey doesnt change that I have noticed Quote Link to comment
swimmer4uus Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Well you're not going to see the change really, it's more of a gradual event over a couple months Quote Link to comment
chrisjj625 Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 Id buy that, but does that mean it is going to stay that way or go back or what Quote Link to comment
swimmer4uus Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Who knows. Just keep an eye on her. Quote Link to comment
GT AQUATICS Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 how big is the clown. It is possible the the white stripe is still coloring up. The tail stripe is the last bar to come in, and it will be gray until it reaches full coloration Quote Link to comment
chrisjj625 Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 oh maybe thats what it is she is bigger than the other one though soooo... Quote Link to comment

RyanR1212 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 thats really cool.. i like the color change.. i used to have a flame angel in my tank... he was fine with the coral.. a lot of places and people say with caution but never did i see him pick... he died Quote Link to comment
bpl09 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 yeah, its a flame angel. he nips at everything but the corals. he's been in there for about 2 months. Quote Link to comment

chrisjj625 Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 He died today. The other one I got him with used to hang out all the time. Then they moved to separate sides of the tank and the one starting beating him up and killed him Quote Link to comment

Swarmreef Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 One of my clowns has a similar thing! Really couldn’t tell you why but it’s a neat little mutation! We are moving tanks so I’ll post if there’s any changes to it! 1 Quote Link to comment
