Question Teardrop Ocellaris Clownfish

Anyone have any pics of them in their tanks?
Do they keep their "drops" or do they eventually grow into full stripes?

To me it looks like a tank raised clown that didn't get his stripes. It seems like they just came up with a name for it.

Yeah, looks like a pretty common form of misbarring. I would say they do not grow into a full stripe. I wouldnt pay extra for it though. Just look around in LFS tanks, it is very common with captive bred clowns. If anything, I would pay more for full-striped captive bred clowns than misbars, but thats just me.
