LFS had these 2 clowns he said where form the red sea and these suckers where Sunkist orange. Looked like the fish was a firebolt. One had jet black markings like a cinnamon, but the other was getting these grey/blue stripes. Was freaking cool.
Do they have a name cuz I've never seen them in Hoff's or Wilkerson's book.

One could be Amphiprion bicinctus, but the other one.... LFS practice a lot of mislabeling, take for example how many species are called black percula.

Unfortunately the pictures of the <a href="http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=305127">Clownfish List & Pictures</a> thread in the Clownfish subforum are currently down. Maybe you should ask there, but you'll have to post pics to help ID.

Otherwise take a look at <a href="http://wish.wodonga.tafe.edu.au/~kwaldon/species.htm">CLOWNFISH IN THE WILD</a> or <a href="http://www.nhm.ku.edu/inverts/ebooks/intro.html">FIELD GUIDE TO ANEMONE FISHES AND THEIR HOST SEA ANEMONES</a>
