These are a black variant of Amphiprion ocellaris.
Here is one of my bonded pairs, captive bred themselves, and soon to be spawning!
We snagged these larvae from a kind friend's tank, where the nest of her black ocellaris pair were just hatching. These larvae (below) are 5 days old, and you can see their fat bellies and beginnings of a white headband.
at 2 weeks:
3 weeks:
6.5 weeks:
These fish are almost 7 weeks old and are already acquiring black fins and darkening scales. By contrast, orange ocellaris only get black trim on their fins, and not until a month or two later.
Here's a couple of pix at 7.5 weeks old:
