I can’t see the video with my phone (a photo would be easiest). However the biggest tell tail sign is the eyes and how many dorsal spines they have. Picasso’s are Percula Clowns. If you can discover their species then that’ll give a bigger hint to the designer breed. I believe their lines are then less like a line and more patterned (Swirls, joined ect).

Based on pattern alone it looks more like a DaVinci.

I disagree, Davinci has a black outline on their fins and these two don’t appear to have that.

LOL so do picassos. Like I said, based on pattern, it’s a DaVinci.

Furthermore, it's rare for any percula morph to have a head stripe that sweeps back towards the second stripe, but fairly common in DaVinci.

Here's a photo for reference:
