Anybody have pics and knows what the distinguishing traits are between these two fish. I read an article that said these two are often sold as sebae but might actually be clarki's

Here is a link to an entire book online on Clownfish and their host anemones: http://www.keil.ukans.edu/ebooks/intro.html

You will want to check out Amphiprion clarkii and A. sebae. They are similar in appearance but A. sebae is almost never available in the trade, especially at an LFS. For some stupid reason, many LFS insist on calling Clark's Clownfish, Sebae Clownfish. Just another of those idiotic things we have to put up with when dealing with LFS people.
