lol, true enough. That could be tragic. Perhaps you could try to put in a coral that they might choose to host in. My clown likes a lot of things--hairy mushroom, bubble, toadstool leather, frogspawn. Does your lighting allow for some corals?

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.
