Thanks you 2.... Chilwil...Yeah I know they aren't that mean but individual personality can differ amongst them...I know my eel when purchased with the tank was given feeders...I don't do that and instead give him silversides, squid and clam soaked in vitachem or garlic. He tends to come out as if he will attack but just instantly goes right back into a hole.. BTW he is about 22-24" long and about 1.5-2" in diameter... but I love him. the clown is measuring about 4" and the gold stripes are beautiful even more with just the actinics on.
RS1831... what setup you got currently? reef, aggressive, community? i have both a my maroon in my 90 whihc I am setting up as a community tank, and I have a 46 reef. My false percula is a great fish and measures about 3.5" lots pf personality and only having him a month and a half he now takes food from my hand... really great fish. good luck and either choice is great but if a bigger tank with some unfriendly inhabitants are going to be living there I would go with the maroon who can hold his own.
