Porcupine puffer and clownfish

So me and my Mam love porcupine puffer and we are setting up a tank for one but my Mam wants a clownfish to I said we could get a maroon clownfish but I don't really want one cause it will limit the amount of fish that I like in the tank she likes percula clownfish or nemo clownfish as she calls them so will any other clownfish work keep in mind this is semi aggressive tank although not all the fish will be aggressive

Clown fish really belong in a reef tank, but the puffer fish belongs in a marine tank, with no corals for it to munch on. I got my wake up call about this when I wanted purchase one for my live stock tank. And just so you know, clown fish can be quite aggressive, literally biting the hand that feeds them. It's a good thing that their mouths and teeth are to small to do any damage to us. It's still startling when they do, because they hit you with everything they have. In a way it can be amusing.

You have a lot of threads asking similar questions, I would try to condense the threads so you can get more help
