    Was at my LFS yesterday and they had a bunch of black and white clowns for sale. Anyway, they said they were percula black and whites BUT they really didn't have the look of a percula or a ocellarus at all (looked more like a clarki and had yellow pectoral fins as well). Does anyone have a clue as to what type of clown this could be? I didn't have my camera phone with me or I would have snapped a pic. Also did a few searches and can't seem to find them anywhere??

    Thanks

    the black and white clowns have varying degrees of orange in their mouth, but i have never seen orange/yellow fins
