Thanks! Do they tend to host bubble tips? Ill have to keep an eye out on the smaller occellaris.. when the maroon was introduced the ocellaris immediately approached and started doing the submissive shake... since then theyve been swimming around together without aggressions.. of course its only been an hour so ill continue to closely mo itor. Anyone have success with an occellaris and maroon?

I bought a bubble tip for my pair. They were in it, in 5 minutes. The big female did get more aggressive if anything comes near her nem.

Its a 265, your clown will find a spot to hang out.,, once he has his spot, just put the nem near by. Thats what I did. Bubble tips like the rocks more than sand imo.

I see. Ill wait about a week and see if this maroon decides to host where its at. If not, ill give that a try. A bit off topic but, for those who are experienced with tangs, can someone estimate when I should be expecting my ABT to morph into the adult colors? I know alot of people like them when they resemble the purple tang but im one who prefers the deep blue adult color. Here he is in a video...

BTW, the anemone hosts the clown, not the other way around.
Of the multiple species of clown I have kept, Maroons have always been the easiest to pair with an anemone (and the hardest to pair with each other). I just about guarantee your Maroon would be hosted by a BTA given the opportunity. Whether she would share with the little occy is an entirely different question. Only keep them them together of you are willing to accept the fact that she can shred him at any time.
Also, as she matures, she will become more and more territorial. She will likely move any corals that you try to place near her "territory". I love Maroons, but as mentioned above, I love them a lot more when they are in a tank setup just for them.

Love the personality of my maroon. It's mean and bull dozes things or of the way. Lays flat on the sand lifeless sometimes (I've literally thought it was dead twice now) eats whatever I put in the tank. Get along well with the other fish. I don't have other clowns though.

Thanks for the responses guys. Hopefully i was lucky to get a behaved maroon.. time will tell 
regarding the Atlantic blue changing colors, heres a decent shot of him, what do you guys think in terms of how much longer into the full adult colors?
