guide to clown types?

[cpittmx]

I've been looking around for something that explains the differences between the different types of clowns other than appearance. I'm considering tomato, ocellaris, or percula. What are the differences in tempermant, hardiness, ease in hosting an anemone, etc?

They can be for sure. I have had a female for ~3 years that darts in her cave as soon as my hand hits the water. She comes out to stare back at me when I'm looking in the ends of the tank. The latest two juvies I've tried to pair with her shoot out of their cave to tag my hand. Put your hand in my stock tank with ~250 juvies and it's almost like your being attacked by a swarm of piranha, only your hand is tickled and itchy instead of a bloody stump. JMO so you know, but they are my fav. clown.....
