What type of clown is this?

[vanceny]

Is this a tomato or cinnamon? I've been thinking of finding a mate for him/her but not sure which species it is. I've seen tomato's with and without the black sides. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for looking.

Looks like a Amphiprion frenatus

Anemone fishes

i'm sorry i don't know the answer to the question you posted but...man i like those mushrooms

 

[vanceny]

Thanks. I like those shrooms too.

My original thought was that is was a tomato until I saw the cinnamon. Does anyone know the difference?

Does anyone know the difference?

Read the link I provided; it goes into detail

I saw the description of the tomato but I didn't see one for the cinnamon. On other sites the 2 are often confused.

Cinnamon clownfish - [SIZE=-1]Amphiprion melanopus
Tomato clownfish - [/SIZE][SIZE=-1]Amphiprion frenatus

Both are listed.

I didn't know that the cinnamon was the same as the melanopus. Thanks.

Tough to say whether those are tomatos or cinnamons without seeing the pelvic/anal fins.

Excerpt from above link:

Amphiprion melanopus (western Pacific) is also similar, but generally has a broader white head bar and specimens from most areas (except eastern Melanesia) have black pelvic and anal fins.


Where's clownfishking?!?
