It's a two banded anemonefish or black clownfish, also known as a black saddleback. You can't mix with other clowns.

Nice tank too!

My saddleback has yellow fins and looks just like yours. I will do some more research but lfs is very knowledgeable and he said mine was definitely a saddleback.

Im looking at Wilkerson's book "Clownfishes" and yours looks virtually identical to the Clarkii pair on page 75. Allardi(p76) is lacking the thin white band at base of tail that makes the 3rd stripe on the Clarks.
