Hi Philip:welcome
Excellent start
love the bright orange zoos
what things do you have planned for the tank?

 

[Dr. Schell]

is that clown a red and black (Amphiprion melanopus) or a Tomato (Amphiprion frenatus). Easy way to tell: the pelvic fins of a melanopus clown are all black, whereas the pelvic fins of a Tomato clown are red with a black line running down the anterior edge.

 

[Dr. Schell]

beautiful colours, judging by the width of the band on the head, looks like a menalopus, but has the colouration of a frenatus.
