Where are the good fish stores?

Yes,Maroons can be alittle bit agressive. The one in the reef tank at work will constantly attack and bite my hand anytime I put it in the tank.

The tank is 6' long and his anemone is at one end and even if I put my hand in at the other end he will swim over the 6' and bite my hand until I remove it.

On top of that, yesterday I learn something new while working in the canopy over the tank. He is now willing to jump up out of the water to bite my arm while it is positioned 3-4" above the water surface. [img]images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img] So, yes they can be agressive.

As far as my experience with putting different clowns in the same tank. I have had a pair of percs in my reef for about 6-7 years and about 7-8 months ago I added a pair of Melonopus clowns to the same tank (135g).

They all got along fine until the Melonopus started to get bigger than the percs. One of the melonopus started trying to kick the percs out of the Frogspawn coral they had lived in for 6 years. He was not successful (precs can be little buggers when they want to). After about a month of this I moved the coral and they all get along fine now. But, I would probably not try to mix them again.

The only one who lost out in the ordeal was the Frogspawn, which has slowly declined since the fighting began.

More people buy false percs because they are much more common (less expensive) than the true percs. You hardly ever see true percs. Atleast that has been my experience.
