Cinnamon Clown

I saw a cinnamon clown at my LFS yesterday and I fell in love. I would like to get a small pair and raise them. Is there anyone who has this type of clown that could give me some advice on caring for them. This isn't an impulse thing btw. My tank has been up and running for about 6 months now. I plan on getting a BTA in a couple weeks and after a month or 2 buying a young pair of cinnamon clowns. In the meantime any advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
Well they do get around 3-4'' max in a tank but ive seen some larger ones before at over 5'' at a lfs before. They pretty much require the same care as most clownfish do. They are a more aggressive type of clown but if you add them at the same time they should be good. Do you have anything else in the tank?
 
The plan is to get the cinnamon clowns as young as possible. I hope that will allow them to become used to the skunk. Has anyone ever tried this?
 
I have a mature cinni clown. He is about 4 inches and he is aggressive. He thinks he is the king of our 90 gal. reef and he is hosting in a flower-pot coral. He usually doesn't hurt anyone, but he did leave some tooth marks on our coral beauty one time. I suggest you do some research and put your more passive fish in first and if your want more than one clown, put them in at the same time.
