Clarkii/Ocellaris sharing an anemone

[chrisqueenz]

Hey guys,

So noticed both my Clarkii and Ocellaris sharing an anemone. Though it was pretty cool and and maybe just a one time thing but this has become the norm now! I thought my Ocellaris went blind for a minute but guess he is playing nice now.

Maybe we will see some Clarkii - Ocellaris offspring! Be pretty cool if it happened. You got the orange bloods that came from Ocellaris and Maroon mix.

Right now the clarki is a good bit smaller than the occ, it may not remain peaceful once it gets bigger

Intermixing happens in the wild though it's not common. I've seen videos of clarkii clowns cohabiting with pink skunk clowns in the same anemone, usually H. Crispa.
The most common intermix I've observed by studying diving/snorkeling videos in the wild is that of blue stripe clowns with orange skunk clowns and Leucokranos clowns.
In the video below you can see an adult Tomato clown sharing a BTA with a juvi maroon clown. Fast forward to 7:02

I actually also have a full sized clarkii in this same tank that pops in and out of this very same anemone when the occ jumps to another anemone!
