I dont know about the viability of the offspring though.

Its possible your fish will stay orange for most of it's life. Like someone mentioned, tomato clowns dont always go red, partially due to captive breeding (I might compare this to horned tomato frogs, whom look terrible captive bred but are bright red in the wild). NOT saying your fish looks terrible though! Lol. But you understand my point.

You could definitely get him (which would become a her if not already) a smaller partner though if you wanted. And an anemone would certainly be cool!

I think I'd try to avoid hybrid offspring because I wouldn't be able to come up with the tank space to keep them myself, I was just curious as to what would happen if you did get the match slightly wrong - whether they'd play nice or you could expect world war three in there!

I'm cool with him being (and staying) orange, it's all part of his fishy character - but if he'd just stop biting me that'd be nice!

I may just go down the anemone route, having watched him attack his own reflection in the glass I think the process of adding another might be pretty hairy...

Rob.
