Hey guys I was browsing eBay for clownfish since I found out the lightning maroon clown F1's are going up on eBay this week or next and I ran across this monstrosity of a clown, anyone know what's up with this guy?
Is this something people are actualy going for now? Or should this just have been culled ages ago?

My guess is REALLY bad inbreeding or it was roughed up as a fry
It's a nice looking one, just not a good breeding one.
 
That thing doesn't look right to me...it reminds me of Quasimodo from hunch back of Norte dame

Hmmm my old female used to look like that after feeding.

Yeah the patterns on it is great but that body shape is awful, it's ashame because if it is bad genetics that fish probably isnt worth a **** for breeding, however if it was just bad rearing or fighting when young then it might make a good cheap candidate for a breeding program
