this is different variations of the same types of clowns

feeel free to add on to this I am missing a few pictures , in time I will be adding a little bit of information about each type of clown.

There will probably be a few people who say theres the same fish up there under different names but their not the same , there is such miniscul differences between some types its almost impossible to tell the difference  EX: perc and occelleris

This is interesting and well studied thanks for all the info!

Wow, great info and pics, I think what were sold to me as a pair of
saddleback clowns may be Thielle's clowns. I will have to do some
more searching. As they grow, the female has now developed
a white edge around her tail fin as well. When the computer is
is back from the repair shop I'll take some more pics of them
I really enjoyed this post, thanks so much

That would be cool, but it's very doubtful u have a pair of those as they are very rare in the hobby, a picture on reef central is your best bet.. There's some serious clown nuts over there.

Thanks for the reply, I'll post a photo of them when
the computer is back home

Just got 2 ocellaris, one all orange/white/black, and a photon 3/4 black and white with a gorgeous orange throat - Thanks Aquarium by Design!

I took Colby to the aquarium store in Dartmouth Nova Scotia last week and they had a nice poster with every single type of clown fish clearly identified on it.
