I am writing to warn everyone not to buy a maroon clownfish unless you are adding it to an aggressive tank! I loved mine when i got her over a year ago, but in the last few months she was a menace, going after the other fish, tearing their fins, sweeping out her own little bed in the tank and making a mess. In a year she got huge and fat with a huge attitude to match. Anyway i just spent 2hrs. tearing my tank apart trying to catch her and get her outta there to give to a friend. What a mess! My sailfin tang actually kept trying to help me out by chasing the clown out of a cave into the open water. Guess she was ready for the clown to hit the road also. Anyway just happy thats done and over with and had to share.

I know how you feel but my terror was a pygmy angel. It was gentle and shy at first but in a few short months, it became mean. Made a water bottle trap, didn't work. In the end, I removed most of my rocks. I felt bad for it when I gave it to the LFS but my tank is much happier with out it.

I have a mated pair of maroon's in my 135 reef. They let me put my hand near their RBTA when I clean the glass. They have been great fish. I hope thay stay that way.

It's definately a crap shoot! Mine is almost 4, and while a pia for other reasons, isn't very mean at all!
