I'm extremely new to all this and recently picked up a full setup that I'm only going to be using parts of for the time being. But it included 2 clowns that are currently making their home in my QT tank while I continue putting together my display.

Larger more yellowish of the two:

Smaller of the two, very bright orange.

Both in the same shot and a pretty accurate representation of the colors I see that don't seem to be captured well in the pictures always:

On a side note I have a newfound respect for many of the excellent pictures on this site because it was very difficult just to get these few mediocre pictures. I probably took 40 just to get these 4.

Thanks.

They look like Oscillaris clowns to me... the lighter orange one looks like it had 11 dorsal spines, high dorsal fin, and very little black line next to the white stripe. The other one is harder to see... only counted 9 dorsal spines, but the color is more like a percula clown, but the height of the dorsal fin seems more oscillaris. Maybe an expert will respond with a little better guidance.

Larger one def looks Occy, smaller one is harder to tell from pictures. Check my sig and see if you can count for yourself at home.

Thank you both for the input. If they'd ever stop moving maybe I could get a better count or a better picture to count from.
