Now hold on there partner......I didn't exactly say 2 "different clowns, even if they turn out to be 2 males they shouldnt fight".

I said the Black and white & Ocelaris are both False Percs and can get on together. Also, Clownfish have no sex as juvi's.....They will fight (a little) to determine who's going to be the boss (The female of course)....The female will then grow larger than the male.

12 Hermits should be plenty for you. I have a Brown Brittle Star that I like. Hides all day, Roams at night. Stay away from Green Brittle Stars as they are fish eaters. Also the Chocolate Chips and the Red Generals as you mentioned are not Reef Safe.

The Purple Psuedo is a cool and mellow "Looking" fish but it is mean....MEan...MEAn......MEAN to it's tankmates.

Same goes for most Maroon Clowns....Mean little devils and usually kept with no other clowns. Like the one in my wifes tank. Happy alone with her Anemone but bites me when I feed the Anemone....Little beach!
