as its host, as well as many corals.

Black Saddleback Clownfish
Amphiprion polymnus
Identification:The Black Saddle Clownfish is a less common form of Amphiprion polymnus, the same species as the common brown saddle back clownfish. Unlike the more commonly available Brown Saddleback Clownfish, the Black Saddleback Clownfish is deep black and the second bar actually forms a bar that reaches almost completely across the entire body instead of forming a saddle.

Aquarium specimens have been observed becoming lighter or darker after accepting a new host anemone species, sometimes within a few hours. In some varieties, typically those specimens initially associated with H. crispa anemone[1], the saddle shape may extend up onto the fish's Dorsal fin with a third white bar or margin located across the caudal peduncle. An excellent candidate for a small group of Black Saddleback's, maybe in a host anemone if your lighting will support it.

McCullochi Clownfish

The McCullochi has a beautiful coloration ranging from Tobacco Brown to a Smoky Ash Black that sets off the brightest white tail and a single white head bar. Juveniles tend to be more brown in coloration and have three bars. Maximum size in the wild is 6 inches for this rare one but in an aquarium their maximum size is only 4-1/2 inches.
