Black & White False Percula Clownfish Pair

[danpar814]

Long time fish keeper. First time Reefer.
I set up my 12 gal. Aquapod almost a week ago. I have about 15lbs. Of LR in it so far. I plan on adding another 5 lbs. this weekend. I would like to get a pair of Black & White False Percula Clowns in the tank. I have never had any of these guys before. I used to have a 55 gal. and had a yellow strip maroon (very aggressive) then took him back and had a pair of Percula clowns. Are they similar to the Their orange Cousins? Also my kids want me to get an anemone for them. I am planning on doing corals. Would an anemone be alright in a reef tank that small. If so which kind would be the best bet with the clowns? An advice will help Thanks in advance.

not an expert but ocellaris are alittle easier than perculas, so you will be fine. i have my misbar and full bar black ocellaris for about 2 years and doing well.
if you arent moding the tank with MH lighting, i dont believe the PC lighting in the nanos will be good for the anemone long term.
And i would wait on the clownfish as your tank hasnt cycled yet, fishless cycle for 2-4 weeks than your clownfish will be great.

your tank is still way to new for an anemone.. wait at least 6 months or so before you throw it in..
what kind of lights are you running as they demand high lights.. stock PC's off a AP or a NC wont work.
