Re: whats everyones favorite clown

I always have loved True Perculas especially their color pattern also they don't get very big and aren't as agressive as the Clarkii or the Maroon and AFA Anemone, my favorite is the RBTA.

Here's the Female getting all snuggle

Re: whats everyones favorite clown

I have 2 true perc's and I love the contrast in the colors. They are very personable and are happy with all of their tank mates. I would have to admit though that I think the yellow stripe maroon clowns are the most attractive with their body shape. There is something about their fin and body structure that is more flowing.

Re: whats everyones favorite clown

True perculas are my favorite clowns. Their contrasting colors and gentle personalities have won me over! My favorite anemone is a haddoni carpet; and my favorite clown/anemone pair would be perc/haddoni for sure.

Re: whats everyones favorite clown

I've had a breeding pair of Maroons for almost 6 years now and while "Big Momma" attackes me incessantly while I clean the glass, they provide a lot of entertainment. Premna's are not for the faint of heart but they do have personality!!
