Sold @ PEA as "pink skunks" ..but they are NOT pink...Tough to see with all the blue light in the tank , but they are an apricot / tangerine color for sure .. Nothing pink about them ..They are not amphiprion sandaracinos ...just a rare color morph of a skunk ??? anyway - thats why i grabbed 'em ..

No, there are pink and orange skunks 😂 they probably mislabeled them. Not really rare color wise

Should be the ones collected from Fiji. They're the pink skunks that look more orange.

Per my clown book , they range in color from pink to yellow. Though in my experience calling any of them pink is a bit of a stretch or wishful thinking. I dont think I have ever seen "pink skunk" clowns that were ever truly pink always some variant of orange/yellow. . . Maybe pink-ISH. . . But i would say seeing ones of various shades is not uncommon.

Just rambling at the point haha

Still gotta love some WC clowns!!!

Just picked up a pair myself, do you still have these? starting to like skunk complex ( orange and pinks) more than designers; they are definitely harder to come by nowadays
