Are flames typically hard to keep? I'm not really planning on having that many corals in my tank. Just enough colour to make it look good

J,
I think you might be better off getting 1 firefish. unless they are pair, when they become adults they will harass each other until one of them jumps or dies of stress. As for clowns... I've found that it is best to wait until you find THE PERFECT clowns that you want. Personality and color wise. You've said false percs, but I think if you enjoy clowns that host, perculas, in my experience are more likely to host. Also have really neat black patterns... As for the angels, I had a really great potters that didn't nip at anything until 2 years. Also had a flame angel that was an angel in one person's tank but an utter terror in mine....

I actually already have my clownfish. The LFS told me they were false, but I guess because they have hosted the anenome in my tank that they are true. They do have really neat patterns.
I was under the impression that you kind of had to buy fire fish in pairs. I was told that they would do better like that.

What's all this false and true silliness when it comes to percula clowns
 Either the clown is a percula or it's an ocellaris  BTW, I have a pair of captive bred ocellaris hosting in a GBTA. They were 2+ years old when I introduced to the GBTA's tank, and they hosted within a couple of days after being added to the tank.

yay for angels. i've got a singapore, koran and emporer
 had a potters too but it went missing...go for some purple firefish, they're a great conversational piece for tanks...especially for people that don't normally get to see a marine setup.

Ok well I took the plunge. I've gone with a Coral Beauty. Because I'm a rookie SW Fish keeper, I decided to go with one of the hardier dwarf angel's. It took me almost an hour to decide, but I think it was the right decision. She's sitting in the bag right now acclimatizing. My next tank is going to be at least a 120 because I really want a Koran!
