Those are basically the same thing as the smores that have been out for a while now.

I guess a Powder Blue Tang is "basically" the same as a Powder Brown in that case LOL! According to ORA they are all black with white markings, nether the Black Ice or Smores were completely black.

Because a lot of people like myself love the black clowns. And the rarer the pattern the better looking.

Myself bought a domino clownfish. I got him for 150 bucks. But in the past year I have only seen one other hobbyist with one. But I've seen about a million picassos and ordinary percs and ocellaris'. So you get what you pay for if you want beautiful. Original and exotic than order one of these. If you want a reg clown. Go visit big ALS.

You have a point there Doug. Still a cool looking Clown though.

I guess it's no different than attaching freaky names to coral to get top dollar out of them. I mean really, Nightmare Palys? Blue Orgasm Zoas? And I don't know what the hell Darth Maul has to do with coral other than make them freakin' expensive! They obviously appeal to the Zoa/Paly enthusiast the way ORA is appealing to the Clown enthusiast.
