Hi everyone.
I'm getting a 12g Eclipse with LR going, and am planning on stocking it with some snails, a Scarlet Reef crab, a Scarlet Skunk Cleaner shrimp, a pair of Clowns, and a Royal Gramma. I can't for the life of me decide between True Percula Clowns or False Percula/Ocellaris Clowns. I'd like the brighter coloration of the Trues, but LiveAquaria.com lists Trues as a little more aggressive than False, but members of other forums have found Trues to be more friendly. Your thoughts? LiveAquaria also recommends that beginners go with the False, as the Trues are more difficult. What is it about Trues that make them harder to keep? I know that some Trues will develop alot of black as they mature, but not always. What have your experiences been, and what timeframe can a person expect this color change to occur in? Any and all info your willing to share is appreciated. Please note that no matter which species I go with, they will be purchased as tank-raised.
