This guy is 2 inches long and has stripes. I have never seen a clown or royal this small, so I am not sure what I have. Can anybody clue me in?

^x2 but I think I see a more strange pattern than usual... could you get a better pic?

I took about 30 pics to get one that good. I need to study up on aquarium photography. Also, anytime i move the floating plastic plants he goes straight for other cover. The pic shows his markings fairly well- mottled silver, gray & black with obvious dark vertical stripes throughout body. As I said, I've never seen one this small, but have kept other CKs in the past. Will try for a better pic.
 
Also, the owner of one of my LFS told me that he thought Royals get bigger than CKs. Anyone have experience with that? My books give an average adult length (in wild) for CKs of 39".
