How are yours doing? Are they slow growing and have their tails gotten white yet?

Mine are one of the slowest growing clowns I've kept and out of the 2 pairs I have only one has a white tail, although that one is much larger than the others.
 
Wen,

Yes, I have two pair. The one above is the larger of one pair, but not big enough to breed.

The other the female is a good 3.5" but nothing yet. She's aggressive towards the male once in a while but gets along great with a pair of Orange spotted filefish. It's weird but she seems to really like them. She would posture in front of them like she wanted to be cleaned by them.
 
I have a pair as well, very odd they don’t seem to couple like other clowns I’ve had, more tolerate each other for small periods of time, do little dances or twitches and then the male keeps his distance. They are only a year but I have seen them doing a little nesting / rock cleaning but no eggs yet. Only recently has the female allowed the male to host in one of her anemones prior to that he was banished to the gonipora.

Update on the McCullochi pair.
They are laying eggs, a RBTA island hosts the couple, and they are not aggressive! Which is shocking due to the look of their chompers. They don't bite my hand when near the nems and they don't harass other fish. Highly recommend them for a larger tank.
