Maroon clown tank mates?

[Reefermadness89]

They are beautiful!!!

They rep very cool I’ll try for some better pictures tonight. I really like the broken pattern one, just seemed to stand out
The smaller one is completely normal aside from this dark to neon orange gradient on it’s fins and a tiny white spot on its tail.
They are Zelda and link, since Zelda was always the stronger of the two hero’s of time

I like them both, but I have to agree.

Your 20 is already too small for a pair of Maroon Clowns. You’ll want to get them up into at least a 40 gallon aquarium before they outgrow their current tank. I would not add anything else unless you want to consider trading them in for a pair of smaller clowns like Occelaris....

Agreed, established Maroons get big and super aggressive. One of the guys at my LFS actually had to remove an established pair from his 210 gallon because they would kill any other fish he tried to add. IMHO unless you have a gigantic tank they need to be in tanks dedicated just to them.

I’d be ok taking my chances with a clown pair in a 40b or 50 low and nothing else but some corals and anemones.
Honestly less fish is less feeding and less work, I’m totally ok with that.
Eventually this 20 will be just corals and clean up crew plus yasha and pistol pair.
Funny I got a saltwater tank and I’m not even happy where it’s at but I’m planning Atleast 2 more.
This always happens

Here’s a tank shot to get an idea of the size of them.
Again this is a Nuvo fusion peninsula 20.
And yes, I need more live rock, about 10-12lbs more, I’m ordering that and other stuff come payday next week.
Looking at getting
A 20lb box of Caribsea “life” rock. Pretty sure that’s what they sell at my lfs for 7bucks a lb.
Might even get the 40lb to get a headstart on the next one.
Also
IM skimmer
A innovative marine rimless lid kit.
Ai primeHD plus mount,maybe the new one, also still open to suggestions, but I want soft corals, zoas, and similar low to med light stuff, really like the look of hammers, and frogspawn as well.
Current USA 660 wave pump kit
From there let it run And get some corals and see how I do.
I do realize they will mess stuff up, so I’ll get some sort of coral glue and something to glue those rocks together as well.
