I had a Maroon clown for 13 years, her name was Betty. She could be nasty to some of her tank mates at times. I have always loved watching the sand spitting contests but I never had either of these in my reef tank.

I had one of those white ones (diamond goby?) in my tank for a long time.

He was really cool, as soon as he was in the tank he found a spot he wanted to make his cave and went to work.

When I was snorkeling in the Philippines I was attacked by a maroon clownfish. She swam up several feet away from her anemone to take swipes at me. Never knew what I did wrong. :(

Clown fish are aggressive as heck. I can't even remember the number of times mine attacked my finger while I'm fiddling around in the tank.

And Maroons are the worse of all clowns. I once had a Domino damsel who actually would bite me when I cleaned the tank. Crazy to have something the size of a nickel trying to fight you!
