I totally agree. They have so much personality, and if you are planning to get one anyway - why not?

Cool

i agree, but if you considreing waiting for clowns like i did i started with cardinals and chromis. found my jawfish to ee quite resiliant. only guy who made it through my nitrate spike without a hitch. im suggesting cardinal and chromis because they are about 10 bucks each and not that much cash to worry about if you loss it. they are both ok with my true perks

How active are the cardnials? Whenever ive seen them at the lfs they are pretty motionless. Thinking of starting out with a juvi pair of true percs. Other than annenomies what will they host in?

They'll host in pretty much anything they please (esp. if you have captive bred clowns). My clowns have hosted in everything from frogspawn to candycane to even a powerhead.

Mine have hosted in every coral you've gotten from me. So you've got plenty in there to keep them happy!
