So I went to Petco last night and they were understaffed, only had one employee who showed up so they called in both managers.
A blessing in disguise?

I was looking at the tanks and came across this clownfish(?) that was just having so much fun with his anemone that I just had to have them.
They charged me $20 for the fish and $35 for the anemone. The rock was free since the manager had no clue how to remove the anemone from the rock.
However, I have never seen a clownfish that looks like this.

Looks like a tomato clown.

Edit: you might be able to figure out which one you got here

Start by slow dosing some trace elements to get its color back and also feeding it some Mysis mix with Reef rods.

the road to recovery for its color will take a few months so keep that in mind.
