I agree, I think all three are clarkii varieties. I see so many juvenile clownfish at the importers that I can't positively identify and you can't always know with certainty were they were collected. If I have the room I buy several clownfish juvies from the same shipment that look alike. Ultimately I try to figure out what they are. There are more undescribed species than the current 27 or so.
