This is a Red Saddleback Clown. It is part of the Tomato Clown complex. It is the only clown that lacks striping. they do however have a white headband that presists during its juvenile life. Red Saddlebacks are yellowish orange with a mahogany coloured dot that develops on the fishes flank as it maturs. Eventually it will cover the tail and the dorsal fin area. Red Saddleback are hardy and bold but they are unique among clownfish in their nearly complete intolerance to being treated with copper medication. All this was taken out of Clownfish by Joyce D. Wilkerson.If it is bigger than the other 2 clarkiis and it stays biger than the clarkiis it should be okay. Also make sure there is lots of hiding spots for it. You say it just skurry's around the bottom could be a swm bladder problem.
