Soo, I've got this pair for a new macroalgae tank. This lil boy caught me because it looks like an Onyx, but he's actually an Ocellaris. Sorry if the pics are too blurry. As I said, It seems like an Onyx, but Onyx is supposed to be Percula. So, what type of Clown is this???

These look closer to mocha ocellaris. One of them looks like it's from a batch of Gladiator or Mocha Gladiator. Colors on ocellaris are typically muddier, oftentimes brownish or burnt sienna-ish.

Onyx would be bright orange and jet black, even at a smaller size. With onyx, the black typically comes in starting behind the head stripe and gradually moves backwards until the entire body is filled in with black (more specifically, the areas along the stripes turn back and then the black fills in).
