I will be getting a pair of Stripeless Cinnimon Clowns from SA, they call them Naked tomatos, they should arrive around Thursday, along with the rest of the fish from the raffle as well! After watching Matt's presentation, I am very excited to get these guys and play around with them.

Excited to see them! I agree with seeing all the natural variants it kinda makes me want to start a collection of the same species.

I doubt they'll disappoint.  This Coral See Variant is just awesome.  If you want to see a photo of them in the wild, page 121 of Fautin and Allen shows them.  Additionally, there's a single individual shown on page 91 of the same book.  Quality Marine also has some nice photos here - http://www.qualitymarine....ack,-%22No-Bar%22-Pair - I would love to hear more about how your offspring spreads develop...this is one of those oddball races that I really want in my basement someday.

Matt, are you planning on trying the Clarkii x (Tomato I think?) to get A. lukranos? I may try it next year, or this year if I can get another extension on the Breeders setup, BESIDES the extension I'm already putting on it.

You are right... That's what I get for typing that five minutes after I woke up! Whoops! Thanks Kathy

And they have arrived! A happy and healthy pair, and with a little help, should be spawning soon! (I hope) They were much bigger than I thought they would come, kudos to Matt down at SA for that!

So far, it seems like all they want to eat is the SA Hatchery Diet, but the pair is doing well. They have hosted the flower pot, although they cannot figure out whether to sleep on the inside of it or on the outside.
