They look like clarki clowns to me. I have one, and he looks identical to mine, but I could be wrong.

i thought they were clarks too...but if you look at certain feature, then i can see quite a few differences...here is a pic to compare...

notice the tail coloration...and the dorsal fin coloration...seems different to me

Looks like Amphiprion polymnus, the Saddleback Anemonefish

Check out this site. It may help. (Check out the graphic number 122)

I just moved here from San Diego before that I lived in San Juan Capistrano. I have been checking out all the stores that the Southern Califronia Marine Aquarium Society has on their site. http://www.scmas.org/
If you live in SC then I guess you go to Pet town in EL Toro. Here are some that support the SoCal Aquarium Society,

Fish Collection
1158 E. Yorba Linda Bl., Placentia, CA 714-524-7109
Strictly Fish
12227 Harbor Blvd, Garden Grove, CA 714-750-7151
Tong's
8976 Warner Ave, Fountain Valley, CA 714-842-2733
Coral Island
1711 W Chapman Ave, Orange, CA 714-939-8797
Petown Tropical Fish
23720 El Toro Rd # C, El Toro, CA 949-586-6430
New Wave Tropical Fish
1960 N Tustin St, Orange, CA, 714-998-8209

I have not been to all of these stores yet. But I plan too. I thought Fish Collection had a great selection of coral and fish. Dickwood, I don't know what you like but I have been searching for stores that have tank raised fish. I hate buying stuff caught from the oceans. If you want any tank raised ocellaris I have a some if you want.

I already have three but thanks for the offer. My friend is looking for a very small one for his 6 gallon reef tank. How big are they. He might be interested.
