What type of clownfish are you getting?
BTA's are very easy to take care of & alot of clowns will take to them. All of my captive bred true percs have dove right into a BTA (I have captive bred percs from 3 different breeders)
The only thing you should be careful with is if you get onyx true percs & a BTA, certian BTA's have been known to fade the black color on the fish. So just watch the fish for fading & separate them if you see it starting.

I wanted to get Clarkii, but ocellaris look so much cooler.

No, personally I prefer true percs. I'm just saying IF your paying extra for a clown with alot of black be forwarned that a BTA "could" cause the black to fade.
If your getting wild caught clowns its a 50/50 chance they will host a BTA or anything... some just dont host ever in our home tanks.
Black & white occelaris tend to be more stuborn about hosting & take a long time also & these are captive bred.
Other captive bred clowns I've personally had experience with have all dove right into anything they could host. its just the black & whites that seem to be stuborn.
Good luck with whatever clowns & host you decide on

Just got a rbta couple hours ago, I have 2 clowns. A gsm and true perc, both caught in wild. The perc is more agressive when I feed them but otherwise they get along. As soon as I place the rbta in the tank, the moroon clown doved right in. It surprised me as I thought the perc would host it first. Anyways atleast 1 of them host as it was reason why I bought it.
