Nor did I, but they came in on a Hawaiian shipment to Red Coral 2 weeks ago I think... I'm not really too bothered if its not hawaiian, its a nice freakin' clown.

Be forewarned. My clown was about the same size as yours and he spent the first few weeks getting caught in the overflow every night. It took a while but he finally learned not to get sucked into the overflow at night. Hope yours is smarter than mine was.

im kinda confused, because i thought there was no clownfish in hawaii because their larval stage doesnt last long enough for them to drift to the islands. but i could be wrong

You just HAD to say that.... Figured I would go take another look at the tank, for no reason... and I notice the clown missing... Hmmm, Where did he go??? Looked all over the tank, the floor, the overflow.... No where to be found. That's because he went for a ride... All the way to the sump and into my dirty filter sock.. Poor lil guy..

So needless to say the make-shift drain cover didn't work to well... So I have draped my fish net over it for the night so atleast if his dumbass gets sucked into the overflow, that's where he will be in the morning..

Did you get photobucket to resize the pic for you? If so, then that is the reason. I believe they increase the jpg compression during the resize. What you should do is change your upload size to "1 meg upload" and then resize before uploading.

I resize to 800x600 on my own before uploading, and then upload at "800x600", so I think it is still getting processed a second time... I'll try switching to the 1meg upload.
