Very special thanks for the wonderful photo of the Navy Blue Tomato Clown (Amphiprion frenatus) to Bob from iBluewater, USA.
This very, very rare blue clown was caught in the wild during a dive.
This beauty has no noticeable red, orange, or orange-red coloration!
Navy blue with purple hues is the color of the entire body of this fish. The lower forehead, front face and upper and lower lips are a bluish lavender-purple. Spinous portion of its dorsal fin have similar coloration to the body, and the soft rayed portion is light translucent purple. Pelvic and anal fins also have similar coloration to the body. Pectoral fins are purple from the body to half way out, then lightly translucent purple from the half way point to the tip. Caudal fins are translucent pastel purple. The white band is clear white, with jagged edges from top to bottom, and bright turquoise color towards the lower bottom of the band. Scales on its body appear small to medium size giving it a smooth leathery look.
Synonyms:
Amphiprion polylepis (Bleeker, 1877)
Prochilus polylepis Bleeker, 1877
