Are you looking for a hybrid A. clarkii x A. percula var. 'Picasso'?  Or are you looking for an A. clarkii var. 'Galaxy'?  The latter fish are shown in my avatar. 
 
The Galaxy Clarkii are being produced by Bali Aquarich, an aquaculture facility in Bali which is where mine originated from.  I believe this is the only supplier for these fish right now.  I have two pairs; A. clarkii (ORA) x A. clarkii var. Galaxy, and A. clarkii var 'Galaxy' x A. clarkii var 'Galaxy'.  The former could start breeding any day, the latter are still some time away.

The ones in your avatar are Aquarich Clarkii too.  That's what mine looked like when they were smaller.  Now that they are bigger they are dark velvet chocolate verging on black with some yellow on the fins and tails.  They are very striking.  My Galaxy x Galaxy pair is much darker much younger than the ones in my avatar (the lower one in my avatar has been replaced with the ORA Clarkii).
 
You will have a hard time locating juveniles.  It took me over a year to find the second pair, and I was surprised that they were only about 1/2" when I received them!

There are also 'Meteor' Clarkii which are also from Aquarich, but they are more common since they are a lesser grade with less white.  Genetically, I believe you're just as likely to produce 'Galaxy' Clarkii with 'Meteor' parents as you would be with 'Galaxy' parents. [MattP feel free to step in here haha]
