Clownfish Recommendation

[darthgoby]

I'm thinking about adding a clownfish to my tank and would like some recommendations. I have a mini-puffer, a yellow tang, and a couple of chromis in a 55 gallon tank.
I'm looking for something a little different from the Oscellaris and Percula clownfish. I was looking at either the Clarkiis, a Tomato, or a Maroon. I would probably only get one but might get two. Anyone have any suggestions?

I've had a tomato for a long time. In my opinion, they're very cool fish.

maroons can get agressive sometimes, and i think that tomatos can only be kept singly or in a group, but im not 100% sure. black and white ocellaris would be cool.

My favorite is the Gold Striped Maroon. If you want 2 though, this is the hardest species to pair up.

I say gold stripe maroon, I don't know much about them but they are cool looking.

Aren't Maroons really aggressive? I don't want something that is hiding the whole time but I also don't want a terror in the tank.

get a black with white stripes clown. That's the coolest thing.
false percular is the most typical one. and cheapest.

Mine is not a terror... only to her potential mate.

Hate to burst everyones bubble, (as far as the maroon having an attitude) but my cinnamon clown is a holy terror to....me. Does very well with the fish, except if they get too close to her anenome. Two of my tangs have nips out of their tails.
If I put my hand in the tank to rearrange a coral, or clean the side walls, then BAM she attacks me. Even if I am no where near the anenome!!! She hates me!!! Go figure, I am the one that feeds her.
Beautiful fish, and blends in well with the RBTA she hosts, but a mean son of a gun. Thank goodness for aqua gloves!!
Remember, they are in the damsel family.....

My tomato does this as well, but it never really hurts.

Go with a pink striped skunk clown and get rid of the tang while you are at it.
