i got this fish a while ago and was told it was a hawk fish , definitely not any kind of hawk fish, looks like some type of cinnamon clown, but doesn't have any of the normal clown markings, just solid colors, beautiful fish, is it unusual for clowns to have no markings..

If you do a google picture search for fire clownfish, there are several pics of clowns that look like yours.

A very similar geographic variant, and arguably one of the most extreme, comes from the neighboring Coral Sea although a precise location is not know to me. This population is polymorphic, containing individuals that lack headstripes, living side-by-side with normally patterned forms (an image of this population in the wild can be seen in Fautin & Allen, page 121). These “Stripeless Cinnamons”, when bred, produce both striped and stripeless offspring according to Matthew Carberry of Sustainable Aquatics – this is truly a remarkable variation of A. melanopus that deserves wider understanding and appreciation.


The “Stripeless” Cinnamon Clownfish, this one shown by Sustainable Aquatics, is one of the most unusual clownfish variants that stand out in my mind.
