I thought it was a red clownfish. The store clerk didn't know.

Fire clown is correct ... at least according to current use of that name. I always knew this species (A. ephippium) as a saddleback clown, with the name "fire clown" used for either A. frenatus or A. melanopus. I guess that shows how inconsistent common names are. If you search on the scientific name (Amphiprion ephippium) you will turn up much more information, no doubt including older papers under different common names.
