Clownfish

[bjledbetter]

Hey yall I gota question. I was at a petco today bc I had to get salt and the other lfs was out. While I was there I looked at there sw fish and found the clowns. I got to watching them and noticed that two of them looked different than the rest and any other Ocellaris I had ever saw. They had the dront and back stripe but the middle one was missing completly on one and only half there on the other. Is this normal or something uncommon I though about buying them. They looked young will the stripe continue to develop or is that it. Here is a pic of it I took. Could it be a different type thats got mixed in? I have a 90 gallon reef tank I may go get them tomorrow

Looks like it is a mis-bar clown

Thanks Rev. If it is are they rare or less commonly seen? Ive heard of some designers being misbared but wouldnt expect petco to have one and not for 18 bucks.

Misbar clowns are common... I bought a pair of black misbars from Petco years ago...
