Clarkii's and a RBTA (or possibly Riterri)

My LFS just got in a pair of Ocean caught Clarkii's. My concern is that I have an established tank of community fish and have read that they can get aggressive. I know that all clowns are not really that friendly under all that makeup but are there even greater concerns with this variety and them being ocean caught as opposed to other variety of clowns.

I have a RBTA and was hoping to find a clown that is more likely to host in the anemone. If not this variety, is there another you would recommend considering the RBTA and with me having a community tank of fish.

My LFS also has a really nice riterri I have been contemplating about purchasing to add to the RBTA. If I do decide to purchase the riterri, it would certainly be easy to see if the clowns host in the anemone as they would throw them in the tank together. If I do not purchase the riterri though, and the Clarkii's host in the riterri, are they more likely to also host in the RBTA?

Thanks?
 
IME clarkis are quick to accept any nem, but they can be extremely territorial, right up there w/ maroons.
I agree all clowns can be aggressive, but it seems skunks, occs, and percula seem to be on the lower end of that scale, w/ probably skunks being most passive.
My picasso's are extremely passive, and a ritteri is a natural host nem for them, in fact I'm seeking one out right now for mine.
