What is your favorite species of clownfish?

[Rakie]

I always liked something about Maroon clowns. Not sure if it's their size, shape, etc, but they just look awesome to me from the humble basic guys to the designer maroon clowns.

Of course, they are cranky little buggers... If they grew the size of sharks nobody would ever dive the reefs.

I really enjoy the lightning maroon clownfish

Whaaaaaat were clown brothers!

Here’s an older pic of my clown

Sorry but nothing beats the classic OC Clown. Bright orange with solid white lines and black fin tips.

I might be hated for this, but i dont like clownfish at all. Evil little devils. Ive had them attack me in the wild and in tanks, so they can all stay in the ocean as far as im concerned.

Not sure why. There is just something about the Mai Tai clowns. I love them!

The new peacekeeper maroons are awesome but other than those I really like black ice oscelaris

My wife convinced me to get a cinnamon clown. It has quickly grown on me. It’s different and draws people to the tank. Her name is Baby. @Robin Haselden named her.

I've had one for 8 years! Her name is Bob! Love that fish!

I like the ocellaris. I like their rounded face shapes a lot. I currently have a pair of black ice clowns. Clownfish are my favorite fish. My first SW fish was a pair of clowns and if I had to downsize it would be the one I wouldn't get rid of

Pink Skunk Clowns. I have 4 (bought 5) and love these little guys. One of the only clowns species I found that do better in harems than pairs in the aquarium life. Nor regrets buying these guys.

Lots!
Within the harem their will be a fair amount of bickering at the beginning as they establish hierarchy. Some fins may have bite marks. Don’t worry as they come back if fed well.
They will host just about anything that moves in the current. It took them 10 seconds max to find the Anemone and tucker down.
They enjoy live foods but will accept most frozen no problem. Getting them to flake or Pellets isn’t as easy but probably can be done. I would not personally do this though, as they are succeptable to a number of bacterial infections and frozen and alive foods help keep that immune system up.
They are a challenge to get to spawn so don’t plan on raising them without a fair bit amount of work.
They will protect their Anemone from other fish. They are a very peaceful fish In general, but when fish/inverts some within so close to the Anemone they will show them away.
They take care of the Anemone for you most of the time. They will feed the Anemone more than they feed themselves sometimes.

Hope this helps, feel free to ask anything else! Sorry to hijack the thread!

Regular old ocellaris for me. I like the maroons and saddle backs too. None of this hybrid, designer mumbo jumbo for me.

@Zack Klabunde thank you. Prob not right for my current setup. Not enough space for them at this time.
