I've had horrible luck with clowns in the past. I bought a pair of saddlebacks that I lost to brook before I could determine what was wrong and treat it, and I've lost two ocellaris babies purchased from the same store (I believe they had parasites; both developed stringy poop and refused to eat). I didn't know if I wanted to try again, it's really sad to lose such wonderful fish, but a friend had a 2" ocellaris he needed to re-home because she was hosting in (and slowly killing) a favourite coral. I offered to take her, and crossed my fingers.
At first I wasn't sure how things would go, she was STRESSED and refused to eat or sleep for the first few days. I added her to my empty (but cycled) 21g and all she would do is swim from one side of the tank to the other, up and down the glass. Now she seems to be nicely settled in, interacts with me and eats like a pig. I think she's here to stay, so I thought I'd post a few pics. I used the flash to get a clear shot of her, the last is without flash and shows the tank colours much better
Here's 'Lucy':
Giving me a little attitude:
Her little patch of shrooms - she seems to love this spot:
