Default Is this clownfish?
I went down to Aquariums West @ Burrad St today during my break. I saw this clownfish in midst of other normal perculas. It is longer than other clownfishes and the body is also not fully misbar. I swear I saw heart shaped white spots on the body. I took a pic with my camera which didn't turn out that great but would like to know what type of fish this is.

They get very large and will eat every invert in your tank.

AW is in the heart of Vancouver and probably have to pay significantly higher rent than some of their burnaby or delta counterparts...

A very convenient location for this in the neighborhood, but you will find that their prices reflect their location...

I used to do a lot of window shopping there.

Yeah I know. I live in downtown but I have not been there for a long time. So perhaps they have more choice of livestock nowadays.
