Think those are called "Onyx". Nice score, usually you have to pay more for them like that (I think).

I think true perculas frequently have that dark colouration that may show as the fish mature or establish their sexual order.
says so in my 500+ species you need to know fish bible who's true title and author elude me.

Got them at Ocean's here in Calgary about 3 months ago for about $12 each. They were in a tank with a bunch of other tiny orange clowns and looked pretty much the same as the rest with the exception that the black around their fins was more pronounced.

Thanks again for everyone's input.

Yoour clowns will most likely remian this colour. Both of my clowns (I believe they're Percs) also darkened up quite a bit in the first few months I had them The male is now about as dark as the female is in this pic. The female has darkened even more.
They are aboout 3 years old now and have pretty much remained in the same spot/area for all 3 years. They move around a bit but always return to "their spot". Hosted a brain coral for a couple years which I believe they eventually killed , they drove the poor thing nuts. They used to pick up discarded shells from the hermits and then drop them on the brain, trying to feed it I guess, it was funny to watch.

You'll love watching your clowns as they mature and start doing " clownish" things. They can be quite entertaining
