So I ended up getting two more to make a little family of four. They are all tiny sized and seem to be swiming together. We will see as they grow what happens. If things get too aggresive I can more one or more into my sump.

Keep us updated. I agree with Catherine, add them all around the same time. I tried a school of tank raised ocellaris clowns. However, I already had a pair of ocellaris clowns and breeding Tomoto clowns that did not like any additional clowns.

Don't forget clowns are damsels.Not speaking from experience,but I would think that after they paired off,you would get a lot of fighting.Eventually ending up with only the dominant pair surviving.Or maybe a couple pairs.Maybe some of the experienced clown owners will chime in,but in the mean time,go nuts with google,there should be lots of info on compatibility.

I'll keep you guys posted. Day number two and everything still seems to be ok. I did some movements on the rockwork last night to create a better seperation of the two sides of the tank. The nice part is my wife is on mat leave and spends a lot of time in the basement near the tank so she is able to monitor the behavior and can react quickly if any of the clowns seem to be in distress.

You probably will end up with one dominant pair & they will be very territorial against the others, unless in a very large tank.

-is it true that the leader of the anemone is usually the largest female
and that the smaller males follow?

I know at least in the wild an anemone will have a mated pair living in an anemone and that there will be jeuvenile males in waiting that hang around waiting for thier chance to move in when one of the pair dies.
I'm somewhat surprised that there are not many reefers on here who have tried this?
