IMO, they are the most beautiful & have the strongest "personalities" of the clownfishes, but once they mature, man can they be mean buggers.

I had a pair of gold striped maroons in a 210g with 5-6 large anemones & they wouldn't let the half dozen false percs (my wife insisted on getting these) host any of the anemones. They would simply swim from anemone to anemone and attack any other clown that even looked at one. Eventually had to rehome all the false percs & then later the GSMCs.

They are also strong buggers. The large female would pull a 10-12 head frogspawn out of its hole and chuck it across the tank, killing off a head or two each time. What a PITA.
