    Excellent catch Mr. Bill.

    And yes they can be very aggressive, on my list of the top 3 most aggressive clowns.

    In my experience only!

    1. Clarkii.
    2. Close second Maroon.
    3. True Percula.

    All clowns can be bad, but I have had the most problems with these clowns killing other fish and inverts as well as drawing blood on me.

    The least aggressive is probably a false perc.

    IMO the tail stripe looks different on the sebae clownfish opposed to the OP's clownfish.
