    So I put a pair of Australian Black and White Clowns on hold at the LFS for later in the week. I've been told and read that clowns are pretty hearty fish, and make a good "first fish" for a reef.

    Any comments on these fish? I know Maroons and Tomato/cinnamon clows can be aggro, but was reassured these are more docile, like the regular orange Ocellaris, true?

    Other early addition I'm planning on is a sand sifter, probably a sleeper goby.


    I already have a peppermint shrimp, 4 red leg hermits, and a zebra snail.


    Thanks all for the good advice in advance!

    They are ocellaris clowns. Just a different color morph. Everything that applies to the orange ones will apply to the black ones ;)
