    Do you think I could put an extreme misbar black & white clown and a naked clown together? As far as I know they are both ocellaris.

    Thanks :)

    As long as they are both ocellaris then there shouldn't be any problem. Just make sure the b&w you get is in fact an o. clown since there are b&w percs.

    This is what I have, except mine is an extreme misbar, but I figured they were the same.... ORA Black Ocellaris Clowns - Barrier Reef Aquariums

    Do you think the misbars could be percs?

    Well looking at that picture it's an ocellaris, you can count 10 dorsal spines on it. Percs have 11 spines. I don't know if you can get a good pic of yours to count and be sure.

    You could always try to get a pic while it's sleeping if you can see it. Or lure it to one location with some food. Idk about yours but mine will eat straight from my fingers so if I pinch some food b/w my fingertips I can get them to stay in one location while they try to pry the food out.

    And yeah, counting them is a pain as you have to count all the way down to the smallest spine.

    I wouldn't worry if I were you, even if it is a perk. I had a picasso and a naked together. It took a little bit but they got along.
