maroon clown?

Amy83820 · 04/24/2006, 01:15 PM

I am setting up a 90 gallon reef right now. The contents of my nano will be going into it (6-line wrasse, emrald crab, snails, soft corals) also. If i got a maroon clown, what could i put with it (in addition to the wrasse) as far as fish go? I know they are agressive....

Thanks!!

Maroons get more aggressive with their size. I would not try any other clowns, but fish the same size or larger should not be a problem. I really depends on the maroon in question. I have seen them chase anything to being very passive. The one I have now is middle road. I can't put my hand in the tank, he really does not like that at all.

Would a yellow tang be ok? What else? Most of my experience is with peaceful community fish...
