So I got a pair of clownfish about a week ago and I noticed on the ocellaris clownfish that I got, he had an abnormal pattern on his first stripe closest to his face. Will this marking go away or always be a part of his stripes?

Kinda like it if I’m being honest. Gives him some uniqueness

I think there's a guy in the Tuscaloosa area that does plastic surgery on fish. Google him

Just watched this. May have to go send it to this guy and see what he can do for me. May be a little difficult for him because his specialty is arowanas.
Im disgusted by everything in this video.

Yeah does look permanent it seems. You can see how the black outline goes inwards as well, indicating that the bar is indeed cut.

I didn’t even notice that in the fish store. All I was looking for when I picked him was the same sized stripe as my other clownfish I got (Darwin clownfish) and the orange was darker. Here’s a pic of the gang

I wonder if he’s like 1/128 da Vinci clown lol. You never know with those aquaculture fish

his parent may have been a designer type and he (like many) was born more normal but got some helmet markings from it. He looks like he will be the male/smaller one and I think it does add to the manly look.

Yeah he will most likely be the male. The Darwin clown was in a tank of about 25 others and it was the female (picked because it was the best looking in my opinion) and the male was actually much smaller than the rest. He has chipped fins so he may have been bullied. This rockstars name is Soren and the big black Darwin clown is named Medusa

They’re definitely best buds. They haven’t found a set place in my aquarium as their home but they have definitely found a favorite side of the tank which is the left side. Up, down, front, and back is just still in question.
