A saw some Hybrid Clown Fish in a Raleigh Fish Store years ago. They were Black and Yellow, not a bit of Orange or White on them. He wanted $$$$ for them. BTW, I seem to remember, that they were from a Clown Fish Breeder in North Carolina.

Other choices:
Golden neon goby (Elacatinus sp.) (cleans other fish)
Green spotted puffer (Dichotomyctere nigroviridis) (brackish fish which can be acclimated to saltwater)
Yellow Stripe Clingfish (Diademichthys lineatus) (difficult to keep)
Porkfish (Anisotremus virginicus) (not reef safe)
Bumblebee grouper (Epinephelus lanceolatus) (unsuitable for almost all systems)

Sergeant major damsel, convict tang (kinda yellowish), or hectors goby. There’s also some Amblyeleotris and Stonogobiops that have bumblebee patterns, though aren’t necessarily yellow and black.
Australian stripeys would make great bumble bees if they were reef safe, which I’m assuming you’d want.

Black and yellow definitely seems to be more of a freshwater/brackish thing, as the pattern helps fish blend into dense plants. It also occasionally serves as poison warning colors, hence the color’s abundance on various puffers and boxfish.
Yes reef safe and yes I have saltwater

haha I thought the same thing but transformres movies has been a huge part of my child hood whenever I was sad or mad about something my dad would turn on a transformer movie and I would be so excited seeing optimus and bumblebee I’d forget I was mad or sad or whatever Maybe if I am allowed to have 2 of whatever I find because I know that you sometimes can only have one fish of that species or 2 may not go well together stuff like that

When I lost mine, it was easily 8-9" and fat too. It was from another reef keeper who had them a long time, do not know how old they were. The excavate a lot!
