Spotted GSM

[steamman]

Anyone see any markings like this before? I have had a small percentage of clownfish coming out with some markings I have never seen. As you can see full barred with a spot on each side. This one even has a couple extra spots on its tail.

Never seen any like that before. Pretty cool looking!

I have never seen anything like that before, but I think they are very cute!

Looks like you may be able to come up with your own fancy designer name for these guys

GSMs are my favorite clowns and these are so awesome! I say go for Gold Spot Maroon Clowns!

Good ideas! I have been trying to come up with a name for them. I don't know if it is genetics or just some strange misbaring. I do seem to get 1/2 a dozen or dozen out of a hundred or so. I was considering selling the pair that makes these but I may keep going with them.

Very cool looking! I saw one like that in tenn at a place called The Reef. The one they had was an adult and really perrty. Lol the guy said it was one of a kind

Its it more common then you think, misbar maroons show up alot in aquacultured fish. They dont really get blotches like the percula ocellaris

I get quite a bit of mis barring with the gold stripes. Lack of striping is easy. The ones with the spots are sometimes fully barred and have the spots in addition. I have some with horizontal striping and spots. They do not have full vertical bars though. Still really cool looking.

I like them! It’s just a touch of difference that was the result of natural genetic mutation. Very unique fish with class!

However, in comparison, I can’t stand the man-made mutations, like the Wyoming…..I refer to these genetic abominations as f-ugly (pronounced fug-ly) fish.


Again, neat fish.
