New to reef2reef but these are my wild caught true perculas. I also have a wild caught pair of maroons I need to get a pic of. Let’s see all those wild caught clowns!

Beautiful clowns, is that a big toadstool?
 
I've always had WC cinnamon clowns in my tanks. Hey I like the semi aggressive reef tanks ok?! Lol
Wc is kinda frowned upon these days isn't it? I prefer the real live natural thing vs the Frankenstein clowns I see usually. Like a mutt dog imo. Lol.

Looks like a mertensi
Mertensii has longer tentacles near the mouth, and I don't see verrucae underneath (from what we can see on the left of photo). Looks more like a haddoni. Even with longer tentacles in the mouth mertensii has longer tentacles in general

I love the more aggressive clowns too! I have a wc maroon pair and a trio of gold nuggets with a lightning. I also prefer more of natural clowns. Even regular ocellaris that are captive bred have a lot of deformities and you can just tell inbreeding is getting out of hand
