Clownfish ID: Clarkii Complex

[gobybryant]

Having trouble IDing this clown...am I crazy or this just regular ol A. clarkii?

Looks like it to me. Some Clarkiis are darker than others. It could also be some sort of hybrid — I think a lot of captive bred clowns are. Either way it is a great looking fish!

Looks like a bicinctus or clarkii to me. I want to say bicinctus because of the taller midsection in the dorsal fin.

That’s really what’s throwing me off! I’ve had Clarkiis in the past and the dorsal fin has never looked that pronounced. Additional photo
