Crazy or possible?

I'd like to have a Raccoon butterfly in my upcoming tank...but I'd also like a RBTA or GBTA with a pair of maroon clowns. Will those maroons be enough to protect the nem from the Raccoon? Anyone have experience with this? I know maroons are terrors and that's why I'd be trying them.

I found a section on wetwebmedia where someone says that their maroon protects the nem from angels(queen angel, emperor angel, French angel,).

"You had questioned as to whether my maroon clown protects my anemone from the angels, etc and the answer is YES.
-Good-
I can't even try to move or touch the anemone myself without the clownfish trying to kill me and the anemone is doing great (not certain of the species)."

soo maybe so, but is a 75g big enough for obnoxious clowns?

I personally wouldn't count on the clowns protecting it -- years ago I had a mated pair of Clarkiis in the same tank as a blue face angel -- they didn't stop the angel from picking on their S. Haddoni.

k. I think Clarkii's can be terrors too...right? Might scrap this idea

thx

ps. If I could just get my tank set up then I wouldn't be planning so hard haha!

I agree, my damsels are extremely aggressive at times and can scare away smaller angels 5" and under but once the angel gets 7", a 2" fish isn't going to be able to do a lot to prevent picking.
