This may sound like an incredible stupid question, but what type of fish is the one that is included in the Windows 7 account pictures choices? It is orange with a black spot. Is it a type of damsel or dwarf angel? Whatever it is, I like it :)

Looks like a designer clown. I'm not big on fancy names for clowns, so I can't tell you what variety it is. But to me it looks like a tomato clown.

I'm looking at it on my phone, and I can't zoom, but it looks like a clown without stripes to me. Although, on my phone the whole picture is only about 1/4 inch in size lol.
I'm guessing it's not that at all, I feel a bit silly now.

I googled all kinds of combinations of "orange fish with black spot" and am coming up with nothing. Now I am wondering if it is even a real fish lol.

If you drag the file of the picture into googles search bar it will search the internet for more of that photo. You may have some luck with a file name?

It's just a really nice fire clownfish (Amphiprion ephippium).

Yep, you are correct...that is definately it. I have never heard of a fire clown. The picture included with Win7 may have been photoshopped a little bit....if not, you are correct, it is a perfect specimen compared to the pics that I am finding online.
