Possible Clownfish ID

[Elmo18]

Believe it or not...I am not 100% sure of this one....I have 75% leaning on a certain species, but want to see what you guys think....

Best,

LOL...If you don't know then I definatly don't. He definately looks part juvenile tomato (from what you told me about their bands) and part black something or maybe just a sunburnt tomato

Amphiprion chrysogaster is close, but the pectorals and caudal are wrong.
If I were cornered into making a statement based upon limited knowledge, I would whimper "Hybrid?!?".
The color on the pectorals is reminicient of Amphiprion melanopus. What about a Cinnomon/Sebae clown?

I googled the images on the 2 you suggested (amphiprion chrysogaster and amphiprion melanopus) and they do look quite similar to the clown above. Good observation afishyandaos!

Leaning on a dark A. chrysopterus, but I will wait for the RC clown nuts to reply. Some are nuttier than me lol

hmm dood, just like krish said, if you don't know if how do you expect us to know .
hmm i'd say its a black clarkii or a mix of clarkii with black clown which i doubt it.

Ilham,
I'm thinking A. chrysopterus as well.
Nice find. Where'd ya get it? Planning on breeding them?

Ilham - doesn't the chrysopterus have a whiteish tail? I thought the fishbase photo shows it with a white tail?? Look forward to hearing what the clownfish nuts think

 

[Elmo18]

Amphiprion chrysopterus has two main variants--the white tail and the orange tail, with the white tails being harder to attain.

I am leaning towards Amphiprion bicinctus-melanistic form, which happens when they associate themselves with certain anemones.

Definitely a nice fish
