Hi, I bought this small clownfish a few months sold as a captive bred ‘juvenile maroon’. Is that what he is? He doesn’t have the spines by his cheeks. Thanks! Here are some pics:

Thx Crabs! I was hoping he was a maroon, cause we wanted a juvenile one, so we can watch him grow. He does look like a Gold Dot, except no spines. Do the spines come as they age? Thx!Gold Dot Maroon or some variation of that possibly?

Possibly. I'm not 100% familiar with maroons, only ever kept O. clowns. But I hope, with my upgrade to get a pair of lightning maroonsThx Crabs!

Thx DSC! ( Your avatar! I've had my yellowtail ( purple) since he was little! Great personality and not too bossy)Agreed, it's a type of maroon. Gold dot or flake maroon.

Thanks everyone for your help!!
Haha! They do have the underbite, LOL. Yours is a baby too! I hope mine keeps the darker areas he has now. Looks very nice. Good luck w/ yours!
Is there any reason you might sell your big one, like aggression or something?Thank you, you as well. I have huge female gold striped maroon in my QT that I’m selling, but I might try to pair them up.

oh! HAHA I wanted to have two Maroons, but I wasn't sure if they would get along. I didn't want to upset the one I have now.
Have you successfully had two maroons in your tank? Are they happier as a pair? HAHA, so far he rules his corner only, when no other fish are around. LOL He has claimed a back corner of the tank by my overflow box and heater. He isn't aggressive at all. My Flame Hawk likes to perch back there and then he just swims in front of the over flow until the Flame Hawk swims away. I would hate to add another and upset him.
Thanks! I will definitely think it over! No Nem and no plans for one either. It is a 125 gallon FOWLR. and I will update if he gets a buddy! Thanks again for your insight and time!
