Clownfish ID and Anemone suggestions

[Ethan Zier]

Hello everybody, Id like to throw a little more respect towards my clownfish and make them feel more at home. This tank is a 20 gallon breeder full of coral frags with LED lighting and growth has been amazing.

First off, can someone ID my clownfish? I don't want to make any assumptions and my taxonomy is way more solid for corals anyway. My end goal is to end up in the fish breeding area of the forms and give these two clowns a whirl.


Second, my black clown fish sleeps in a zoa frag and my orange sleeps on the surface behind my filter. Id like suggestions on better accommodations such as a flower pot house? Or perhaps maybe getting a Anemone for the pair to host. That being said if I got a anemone it would have to be super peaceful, I don't want to jeopardize my "rare" corals with a anemone walking around the tank.

Looks like a regular orange occelaris and a Darwin black and white?

I just looked up the Darwin black and white, I agree I think that's what it is. I believe both are in the ocellaris family with the smaller orange being the male.

Yes, if the black and white one is significantly bigger that the orange one, then you are correct to assume that the orange one is a male. I'm no clown expert but from my experience, that's always been the case for me Good luck with them, I love clowns!
