    Will Ocellaris clowns coexist with pink skunk clowns in a 75 gallon reef tank??

    Skunk clowns are fairly aggresive especially with conspecifics. It would definitely be risky. Are you planning on or own any anemones?

    I have 2 Ocellaris clowns now was going to try to get 2 skunk clowns. No don't have a anemone but was going to try one with the skunks. I've tried several anemones with my Ocellaris clowns over the years and they won't host them.

    Well thats not surprising as the clowns don't host the anemone does.;)
    I would say that the skunks would probably harass and possibly kill your Occ..:cry:
