So around 10 years ago ORA got hold of a really special pair of clowns and brought them to market a few years later. I’m attaching their story along with a few old pictures of them.

Unfortunately most of the progeny had a few notable deformities. Bulldog face underbite etc etc. #Faceonlyamomcouldlove

I’m writing this to see if any of these little guys made it to adulthood? This came up in a Facebook rare clownfish forum. I had a few that I lost to a hurricane years ago.

Kind of looks like a cross between a clownfish and a piranha...
I guess I would say in deference to the folks at ora there was a lot of excitement around the journey to retail. It’s a very rare clownfish and a hybrid at that.

This is my wild caught juvenile for comparison. Along with gratuitous peeking out of their host shots.
