where does your clownfish sleep?

How many clowns can you have in a tank at once? I have a 165G so size isnt a huge concern, but right now I have two ocellaris and thats it.

If I did get a clown and an anemone that are already a pair, would that be too many in one tank?

I would not recommend it they would probably end up dieing.

Well I just found my clowns a new home. I had a false perc and a true perc to check out the difference in their personality. The wild caught morphed into a female. I also had a blue chromis who thought he WAS a perc and considers the other two his brothers. At night I would find them sleeping on a red and green open brain coral but during the day they stayed away from it? So I guess that is not true hosting - just sleeping. These fish went from my 28 gallon to a 125 gallon so I am sure they are getting a lot more exercise nowadays!

My blue/green chromis love to hang around my clowns too haha. Wonder if there is some kind of relationship there, though my clowns dont seem to like it that much haha
