Yup. Some breeder in Australia kept pestering until he was allowed to go collect a few. He bred them first and sold some to Drs. Foster & Smith; they bred them too and were selling them. I believe the majority ended up in Japan. Drs. Foster and Smith are the most likely source for the one in question.

I guess to a collector anything can be golden but I honestly can't understand the appeal. Just looks like a black and white clownfish to me. Man I'm such a cheapskate fuddle-duddle.

Now if I can just find some black paint that'll stick to my Tomato Clown I'll be able to afford a skimmer that actually works!
