Has anyone kept these fish?
I have seen a pair in my local LFS that I am sure are Barberi but male is quite young and has a thin black line down the stripe. Just wondered if this dissapeared with age? They are both a deep orange colour with no darkening like Frenatus and certified Fiji captured but were listed as Rubrocinctus which they were thought to be until reclassified in 2008. 
 
I don't have any photo's before you ask!

I think some of the people at rareclownfish might have. I haven't myself.

The sourcing suggests that it could be nothing other than Barberi...unless it's a Frenatus from the same region (does Frenatus even occur there?)

I don't think it makes it quite as far east as Fiji.

'm pretty sure these are Barberi now. Went to the shop today and got a pick. Probably the brightest orange I have ever seen on a fish!
Sorry it's only my camera phone, will get a better shot at the weekend.
