I currently have two true percs in my 75 Gallon hosting with my Anemone. Can I add a clown for my other Anemones or not ? I figure someone has seen this done before or heard of it. If so what type to get that wont be a problem. I was thinking gold striped maroon but marooons are testy and my maroon in my 29 gallon moves everything around and tosses corals around for enjoyment. So maybe a another type ?
Hey Scott you still on the board ? Your quiet as hell.
Will this work ?

I'm the newbie, so take this for what it is worth. I don't think you will be able to add a symbiotic crab for an anemone if it has a clown. I think they will fight over it , and the clown will win. Just a thought 
*edit:* This was something I read yesterday, but darned if I can find out where I read it. It was a description for a porcelain crab at some site that was selling them.

From what I understand the rule of thumb is that most clowns will fight with eachother. That being said I have seen numerous tanks with different types of clowns in them. I would maybe stay away from the Maroon Clowns since they do get larger and are a bit nasty at times. I have seen false percs with pink skunks in a few different set-ups. So for what its worth you could give it a shot and see what happens.
check out this guys website: http://www.megapathdsl.net/~fmariani/reef.htm
He has three different types of clowns in his 75 gallon. so i guess it can be done, but i would think it's gonna be difficult. hth, peace

Well we are not going to get the other clown, I think we are maxed on fish anyway.
