If Challenging Existing Classification
Reasons Species Should be Reclassified:

If Requesting New Classification
Research or Links to information on Species:	I am not sure exactly. I only put "B" beause I don't think it should be "A" becasue I don't know anyone who is currently breeding the Wyoming Whites.

Other Details
Other Information:	I do have a pair of Wyoming White's CLownfish that are currently laying eggs. I have not had success with hatching them yet because they are either eating the egss or pulling them from the tile/pot. I recently learned about this site and I am looking to share this experience and learn as much as I can. Thanks

7/14/12 12:24 AM I'm honestly not sure how the system even let you request Amphiprion ocellaris as a new submission because it's already classified. File your reports fro the Wyoming Whites as A. ocellaris, which is already in the system. If you've already submitted reports for another form of Ocellaris, then you've already garnered the points for that species. Wyoming White is just a variation of the normal, wild-type Ocellaris...same species, same report, only one set of points per species. I wish you luck with the Wyoming Whites, and can't wait to hear what you raise out of them!
