Hi I picked these two beauties up a few weeks back and just wondering if they are black common clowns or Amphiprion polymnus the black Saddleback clownfish?

They are wild caught.

I thought so, as soon as I saw them I thought they looked little special for just ‘black common clowns’ as they sold as. I absolutely love them, they were in my QT and adapted really well to captivity and so friendly, always begging for food. Put them in main display today and they instantly started hosting.

Yeah, stores always mislabel them as black perculas for some reason.
