ok just some more questions... do u think it would be too much of a bioload on a 20 gal tank to add the 2 clowns and some small coral frags within 2 days of each other?? reason is... im getting the clowns tomorrow!!! and the next day a different lfs is having a big sale on corals, fish, equipment, etc.! so thats why thanks!

Yeah, that's one of my latezonatus'. These are my black o's.
As far as stores, it depends on what you're looking for. But, Reef (aholics) Dwellers (Chicago), Deep Reef (Downers Grove) and Rods Reef (DeKalb) are a few of the best. I have a friend out in Roselle that sells a bunch of stuff out of his house. If your interested I can give you his #.

Wow, I can't believe that worked. That photobucket is a real easy way to do this. Thanks so much for the recommendation. HEre is a pic of the pair. Priscilla is on the lower left and maximus on the upper right (keeping his distance if you know what I mean!)
Any thought on if these are black and white clowns?

ok well the black clowns arent coming in until late tonight... so im picking up my 2 tomorrow.... will it be too much of a bioload shock by adding those 2 clowns and some small frags of coral?

I dont think you will have a problem with the two clowns and the corals. We added the two plus a rock with purple mushrooms on the same day.
I would suggest adding the corals before the clowns, so you don't have your hands in the tank right after you add the the clowns and scare them.

ok guys... well i go to the lfs today.... and i see a pair of black saddle backs for 70 is that a good deal? i absolutely fell in love with them... so i get to talking to the guy about them... and he suggests that i get a protein skimmer first to help support my bio-load.... so i got a bak pak skimmer... its up and running now!.... now im in a dilemma... i dont know which clowns to get?? the black ocellaris? or the black saddleback
