For information's sake, the clown is undoubtedly a black Saddleback clownfish, Amphiprion polymnus. As juveniles, individuals of the black strain tend to have yellow on their faces and/or fins. There are also variants of A. ocellaris and A. percula with significant amount of black pigmentation but in my experience they are much less common, particularly in Canada.

mine seems to resemble the black variant and the one in the last picture. he's got the mouth marking and very little on his fins. he's starting to get a little more active finally too.

Here is an easy way does his middle fin slope at the top. If so it is a saddleback if not and it is strait up and down it is a percual or ocellaris.

it kind of looks like it slopes, but it also looks like he only has the one big fin at the top. i cant seem to see a smaller one.
