I'm not sure it's safe to keep ocellaris and tomato clowns together in a big display. Might get away with it if they're young and small, but . . .

Many years ago, I had a tomato clown and a purple dottyback together in a classic 55 gallon tank. Those two made sure that no other fish would ever live more than about 24 hours in that box.

Just talking about the two in QT...dottybacks I would expect that from...this would be for a month or so...

I understand that ... but the dottyback wasn't the only aggressor. You may pull it off with small juveniles, but I wouldn't try it.
