I haven't read yet anyone suggesting a pair of pink skunk clowns. They don't seem to be as readily available in the stores as much any more but are one of the hardiest of the clowns. If I remember correctly they breed easily and get along well with their tank mates.
They take to most anemone's easily and I believe that they come in orange though a bit more rare.
If you already know this ignore the post...

I havent found a mated pair of clowns that arent mean my maroons drawed blood my tomatoe clowns drew blood and a hunk of skin they killed my maroon mean female in about 10 minutes.(escaped out of fish trap that it was living in for biting me. now my black aussie clowns the male bites the heck out of you the female doesnt bite but moves every coral they do let a mini percula clown live with them though. But out of all of the I like my saddle clown the best hes not mean but he does get picked on when he was in the tank now he has his own sump.

I tossed my original pair of ocellaris clowns back in the 120 and will figure out what I want to do instead of rushing to find a replacement. I have the Solana to introduce something when the time is right and then go from there.
A reef tank just isn't the same without a pair of clowns roaming around. My blue tang was happy to see them back too. How interesting these tanks can be.

Quick comment on pink skunk clowns. (I've had my pair for about 18 months.) I have mixed feeling about them. On the positive side, they are not aggressive at all, either with me (no "drawing blood," etc.) or with tankmates. They are nice-looking, and a bit different than what I think of as the "classic" clownfish look (percs, ocellaris, etc.). And they also readily host my BTAs. But on the negative side, they don't really have a ton of character, like many clownfish, and I've never seen any egg-laying. So for me personally, I probably won't go with pink skunks again. When these guys go to fishy heaven, I think my next pair of clowns might be either maroons or black percs/ocellaris.
