i am looking for a pair of snowflake clownfish, or any type with a lot of whit on them. i did a search on google for them but got nothing. does anyone know another name for them (i would call them piebald)? does anyone have any clue where i can pick up a pair. i was told the first pair went for $300, so i will settle for a little less white for now. i would much prefer the second one though which i believe is called a Squareflake Clownfish. looking for a pair around $150 or so. Thanks.

Looks like a mutation to me... I wonder if ORA has produced some that look like this?

I wouldn't be surprised if the second pic is photoshoped...

No, those are called Picasso clowns. ORA breeds them, and they are very limited, and very expensive.

ORA only sells to retail aquariums or pet stores...not to individuals. Your best bet is going to be finding a LFS that orders from ORA. I asked my favorite LFS to check on these a month ago, and they (ORA) are not selling any of them yet. I imagine they will be upwards of $400. a pair when they become availb. Oh, and no...those pics are not photoshopped. ;)
