this is the closest image i have seen to my fish today after looking
to id it.

mine doesn't have the caudal fin spot but does have the dorsal fin
spot, is primarily that color on the front, but fades into pink, which
may just look pink because of my daylight, and may be a pinkish grey,
but totally looks pink.
the caudal, pec, and anal fins are transparent, pelvic fins are
yellow, dorsal fin is pink or lavender pink i guess is more the
pinkish hue i see.
the lavender pinkish starts on the operculum and works it way back.
i may get some pics here on my website, sooner than later, its way
outdated, and old. stay tuned for that

Hello Wolfdogg,

It looks like a "Red Saddleback Anemonefish" Amphiprion ephippium
according to Damselfishes of the World by Dr. Gerald R. Allen.
Maximum size 110 mm SL (approx. 4.4 inches), so it will be a hardcase
when full grown.

Regards, Fishnut.
