Poor man's Picasso?

Found this little beauty at a new fish store. The guy was nice enough to break up the pair to sell her to me. She looks nice with my "normal" clown.
The store had 4 pairs for sale, all labeled as normal. But all of the fish had irregular markings, similar to this fish. She was the only one with sideburns though.
I asked the guy where they got the clown from and he said there were three or four vendors they used, so he didn't know.

So what do you think? Poor man's Picasso clown? (sorry about the terrible photos, iphone camera is all I've got)

Regardless I think she's beautiful. And so far she hasn't had any issues with my other clown. They cruise around the tank together.

She's a beauty, I really dig her! Just wait until that black fills in, she'll be even more stunning.

Just thought you'd like to know, your new gal is a Percula and your existing one is an Occellaris, diff species of clownfish. But they are capable of pairing up.

Yeah I know they're two different species. I do prefer the thin black outlining on the occellaris which is why I bought him. I originally planned on only one clown, but I couldn't pass her up.

Yep, $45 a pair. And in every pair both the male and female had very unique markings. I'm tempted to go back and get the male she was paired with, but I have no where to put the little Occellaris.
