Longfin Clownfish no head deformities?
Recently, at an LFS, I noticed something interesting about the longfin clownfish: none of them had the typical "mops-face" head deformities (short upper jaw) you generally see at least to some degree with normal captive-bred anemonefish or designer clowns.
It's the same with the two DD has right now for sale: no short upper jaw or short faces, but rather the opposite:
Maybe this could point towards the cause of the head deformities?
