here's some....!
http://www.bluezooaquatics.com/produ...&pid=717&did=1
| Other Common Names | | Orangefin Anemonefish, Blue Stripe Clownfish |
| | Description | | The Blue Stripe Clownfish doesnt actually have a true blue stripe. The stripe is actually very white and reflects natural light that gives it a blue appearance. The effect is very similar to the blue coloring that green chromis often have. This fish is frequently sought after because it is not as common as many other clownfish. Clownfish are often admired when seen hosting in an anemone. Clownfish and Anemones do not need each other in order to survive or live happily. Because Anemones require intense lighting and a very stable environment in a well established reef aquarium, it is often better to choose host that requires lesser maintenance for the clownfish. |

little info about the blue stripes as they age (not as they grow) their stripes will fade from that faded out light blue to a nice rich blue

that is neat about their stripes.
are they unusually agressive?
we had a tomato clown at one of the LFS i used to work at, he was so aggressive we called him "piranha clown"
he was in the tank with the assorted snails and he'd attack your arms most viciously  |
