Clown ID, sorry, no pic

I didn't get a picture of him, but a friend got that $16.99 clown from Petsmart!! He's in Tim's QT tank.

He's a black and white clown, saddleback, has yellow on his face and tips of his swimmer fins (still working on anatomy terms!!) and he's cute as a button. Would anyone know what he is? He's tank bred.
Tim swears he's a ocellaris (sp?) but he's more into corals than fish.

Without a photo, it's pretty tough to ID a fish, but at that price range, and being at Petco, odds are it's an oscellaris clown.
Here's some pics to look through...maybe you can find the one you saw...

OK! Here's a pic, sorry for the focus, he's so fast!!

I would recommend that you look up the Amphiprion polymnus, Black Saddleback Clownfish. They are oftne confused with the black percs/ocelaris but the white pattern is on the apidose fin (the second fin in the the top) is what leads me to believe it's the A. polymnus, Black Saddleback Clownfish

Yeah, he looks just like one of those types that Boomer linked to. He's a cute lil' bugger, ain't he?
