I found a picture of this fish this evening and was wondering if it was an exotic variant or a hybrid.  It's called Tequila Sunrise Ocellaris.   I think it is pretty and might make a worthwhile breeding subject.

Just looks like a "Naked" ocellaris.

Yes you're right, it does look like Sustainable Aquatics Nake Ocellaris, but theirs does not have any(or as little as possible) white.  This one has a well balanced pattern of white.

There is a slight edge of white on the fins. See the pic in Martin Moe's book, they look exactly the same.

That fin edge in the photo above is the typical clear fin edge; it's all in how the light reflects off the fins.
 
Tequila Sunrise = Naked Ocellaris (and ORA produced it eons before SA did).  Classic case of a renaming of something that already has a name (drives me batty)

Pretty fish nonetheless.
