Naturally host ocellairus clowns. It's best to get a clown species that it will host in wild. Fish are not interested in carpets and will hit them by accidents when started or being chased. Clowns don't care when the carpet catches a fish. It lets it eat the fish IME.
No. To be honest with you, most fish will eventually be victim to carpets. I've lost about 4 fishes to carpets (tang, blenny, jawfish, wrasse) over past twelve months. They can be good for a long time and then they're gone. Don't get a carpet if you like your fish.

In large tank most fish can stay away from carpets a lot of the time. I lost 4 or so fish over the last 4 years to my carpets.
In small tanks, 40 gal, a large carpet will catch a lot of the fish.
I suggested that you keep carpets in small species tank.
I lost a female Eightline Flasher wrasse, Bluethroat fairy wrasse, Labouti fairy wrasse, and a Leopard wrasse to my Carpets over the last 4 years. Maybe one or two more that I forgot.

I might just go with mini maxis, I do plan on a clown harem but I already have the angelfish and I value a life much more than visual appeal, but can a mini maxi look like a carpet but without the size? Like all the bumps and curves on a carpet and same feeding response? Sorry for hijacking this thread by the way.
