Out of those which ones are least aggressive. Maroons I know are beasts. Correct 75g


That list is like a who's who of agressive clowns.

I have bred 3 of those and they are all agressive even from a very small size and it only gets worse.

Now, if I had to choose, I would say saddleback.

I hope you don't mind getting attacked when you put your hand in the tank. I have had a few on that list and those were pretty darn aggressive. :) Of course, I haven't had any clowns in about thirty years, so they may have evolved more as a species since I had one. :p
 
If we find some, Andrew will grow you a frag.
I've had some plain blue zoas for almost 2 years. They are such slow growers where I was foolish enough to put them. I may try to relocate at least some of them to see if a better location would help.

In my opinion, I would list them as such from most aggressive to least:

Maroon, Cinnamon, Tomato, Clarkii, Spotcinctus/bicinctus, Red Saddleback

My current Spotcinctus and the Clarkiis I owned years ago were not aggressive at all, so it can be hit or miss. I had a Tomato once too and he was completely docile, but he was small.
 
Will the clowns try to eat smaller fish like a green and yellow clown goby
I have never seen a clown try to eat a fish. I have seen a clown relentlessly attacking a fish or group of fish. It is territorial. Breeding pairs seem to be most aggressive. Having a single clown has worked for me a few times to keep things peaceful. Some folks have said to me clowns should be in pairs, but twice now I have had single clowns that were friendly to the other fish. Just my own experience though.
 
so my tank is on the more docile scale of life. Any other suggestion on clowns and bta
A nice H. magnifica would be a perfect host for A. ocellaris which I would say are the least aggressive clowns. Other anemones like carpets would probably not be a good idea for your smaller fish.
 
Just to be clear for @sfin52 , Red Saddleback (Amphiprion ephippium) and Saddleback (Amphiprion polymnus) are different species with different natural hosts.
Wow that red saddleback looks pretty cool. I’ve never seen that before.
