I'm in the early stages of setting up my "getting back into the hobby AIO" and I've decided to include either a percula or an ocellaris clown. My tank will also include a pygmy angelfish and possibly a few other small reef fish.
I know that pygmy angels can be bullies when they are not added last (or sometimes not!) and I'm wondering if it makes sense to wait for a year or so to add the clown, but add it after I've already added an anemone in hopes of it hosting in response to pressure from the pygmy -- or if I should add the clown first, then the angel and then a year down the road add an anemone and hope they find each other.
I guess my question is: are clownfish likely to use an anemone to escape pressure from aggressive tank mates?
