Well, I didn't think these were perculas, and with some research I came to the conclusion that these are indeed saddlebacks... I couldn't believe my luck! I had been looking for some for months. Bruce called me and said he got black percs, so I said I'd take them anyway. I liked the fact that they weren't Nemo's, but were clownfish that had a great relationship to either BTA or Haddoni anemones.
My face lit up when I saw them as I knew at first glance they were more than likely saddles. I wanted saddles because they have great relationships with carpet anemones. It's a little bittersweet though as I was plotting to get rid of the carpet because it's getting so large, but I think I'll have to keep it for a while longer as the saddles have already taken to it and have been doing well so far.
I snapped some pics...

These things always have a ****ed off look in their faces. They actually show their teeth. When taking them out of MMR's tanks, the clown actually bit onto the net and was holding on for dear life!
