Madagascar or Sebae???

[kingnem]

So i have theese clowns and to me they look the same as Madagascars, they were brand new a store had just got them in at 30$ each, i bought two so my question is did i score?? The store regularly brings in imports so its not unlikely but it would be strange no?

Heres a picture of a true Madagascar import

And heres my “sebae” pair

Beautiful pair! That’s a score to me. How do you like the carpet anemone? I’m looking for one myself.

Wow that was a good guide just based of the first pictures, so based off that i think theyre clarkii skunk??

 

[MarinaP]

There is no such thing as clarkii skunk

 

[kingnem]

I see the difference in the tails now, definitely not madagascar

 

[kingnem]

This one

 

[MarinaP]

I am not sure why she groups skunks with clarkii. That guide is pretty old. Usually, we refer to perideraion, akallopisos and sandaracinos as skunks.

Yeah! I saw all the different variants it got really complicated really quick haha

It gets even more complicated once you throw in hosting anemone, which might induce further color change in clowns
