yeah mine look just the lighter one...will try to post some pics soon..haven't had time to take the pics..
Sounds like an albino CK. That's their normal coloring "very light tannish, not too goldish, brown" coloring. Haven't seen a large one though. Best pictures I could find online.

I have seen several leucistic clowns for sale, they usually run at least 1/2 again as much money as the normal ones.

how big is he? if not a young fish and it has any kind of "spots" then its not a royal. Royals have distictive stripes and no distictive spots. I do wonder if there are albino royals though? That would be the ultimate clown knife.

hes just a baby i think hes just an gold clown not a royal but hes kinda yong not even hiting 5 inches yet so i dont know
 
here's my gold CK with my regular CK. they're gorgeus, :D one of my favorite. they're not rare, not easy to find either. it all depends on your LFS. about pricing, yah they're a little more than a regular clown. talk about fast growing fish, it outgrew my RTC and my pacu (lenghtwise) in no time. :grinyes:
