I was thinking of adding a new clownfish to my tank. I have a 32.5 gallon with already a clown in it. I also Have 3 pajamas, and invertebrates And a YWG. I was thinking of a snowflake clown. Does anybody know what type of clownfish I have right now? I also dont want them to fight so do you think a snowflake clown would work in this tank?

Looks like an ocellaris clown. Snowflakes are also ocellaris so that should work. It can be touchy adding a second clown after one has been established. If you’re going to add one, I would get one much smaller in size so the existing one will be (dominant) female and the new smaller one will be male. I would consider using an acclimation chamber as well so they can ‘meet’ for a few days without worry of physical harm.

Ok cool, how would I make a acclimation chamber or would my lfs probably have one?
 
You could buy something fancy like this link below, or makeshift something similar with Tupperware, acrylics, and magnets too. Depends on your budget and DIY skills. I have very little DIY skill so I bought a chamber.
