The False Percula clownfish is probably the most recognizable clownfish in saltwater aquariums.  My daughter calls ours “Nemo’s”.  They are easy to care for and very hardy fish.   They have a very easy going temperment and get along with most fish.  They are reef and invert safe and will eat just about anything including pellets, flakes and frozen food.  Contrary to popular belief clownfish do not need a host anenome to survive.  You can put either 1 or 2 of the same type in the same aquarium.   From what i understand mixing different clown species in a small aquarium is not good and they may fight.
