Beyond knowing this is a Picasso clown...I'm not 100% sure that this is a premium breed. Thoughts, please. I am selling it and would like to price it fairly. I've had him for 2+ years having purchased it from saltwaterfish.com. Thank you.

it is a nice one and looking like a true percula also. someone is looking for a clown but I am not sure he is looking for a male or female. Your is very likely a female...

Pics of the other side?
So far it looks like a Grade A Picasso (Center bar connects with Tail bar). I don't see any signs of it being Hybridized.

Just to clarify, It's not a A grade with the baring on the left, so It's considered a B Grade Picasso overall.
The grading has no bearing on the value of this clown as it has nice patterns, and color...

Thanks, Sergio. Makes sense. It is a very beautiful fish. Bummed that he's the odd man out as I introduced a mated pair to the 180 and my other two tanks also have mated pairs. So, it's up for sale. I'll post the "for sale" on a new thread.

I have a mated pair with 10 other clowns in my 100g for the new harem that I set up. Nothing says that you have to sell...

Hmmm...just put him back in there (moved to sump temporarily) and see how they fare? The mated pair (common clowns) are much bigger.

I believe Perculas have up to 10 dorsal spines and Ocellaris can have up to 11. But knowing that it is a Picasso (and it looks like one as well) it would have to be a Percula. Otherwise if it's an Ocellaris it would have to be a Snowflake.
