Same camera as always. Sometimes it does a good job, sometimes not. The problem is the resolution, 640x480, which is like 0.5 megapixels. I bought it before they measured cameras in MP (around 1997, that thing has been through hell and back).
Those clowns are actually the black strain of Amphiprion polymnus (saddleback clownfish). I got them from AI, labelled percula clownfish, which they are not (I have to remind James about that). I have never seen true black A. perculas in stores, but I bet James can get you a pair. You will find that A. polymnus are fairly aggressive, up there with Premnas biaculeatus (maroon) and A. frenatus (tomato). I have read on RC that you can pair regular A. perculas with black individuals of the same species, and I expect they would be fine with A. ocellaris as well (Rasta has a pair of each in his reef).
For what it's worth, my pair had orange on their noses when I bought them. As they've grown it has diminished, to the point that the female is purely black and white and the male only has a bit of orange on his pectoral fins and a light orange/white spot on his nose.
