AMPHIPRION LATIFASCIATUS ALLEN, 1972 http://nhm.ku.edu/inverts/ebooks/img0062.gif (http://nhm.ku.edu/inverts/ebooks/img0062.jpg)
Madagascar Anemonefish
Original description: As Amphiprion latifasciatus, from specimens collected at Madagascar
Colour features and size: Blackish with two white bars; snout, belly, and all fins, including tail, yellow; caudal fin slightly forked. Maximum length about 130 mm.
Similar species: Amphiprion bicinctus (Red Sea), A. allardi (East Africa), A. chrysopterus (western Pacific), and A. clarkii (Indo-West Pacific) have a similar colour pattern. The mid-body bar of A. latifasciatus is generally wider than in these species, and its caudal fin is forked rather than truncate to slightly emarginate. It further differs from A. chrysopterus and A. allardi (and most individuals of A. clarkii) in having a yellow rather than a white tail, and from most A. clarkii in lacking a white bar at the base of the caudal fin. Amphiprion omanensis (Arabian Sea) also has a forked caudal fin, but the midbody bar is much narrower (1 1/2 to 4 scales wide) and the pelvic and anal fins are black.
Host anemone species: Stichodactyla mertensii Distribution: Madagascar and the Comoro Islands in the western Indian Ocean.

Try to contact http://www.marinecenter.com/

They are very good at tracking down rare or hard-to-find animals...and being that you are in the US - you can purchase from them.
