Additional Information

(No Pictures or Videos in the Section Please)
Miscellaneous Information:  Bought these 2 as juvenilles, waiting to see them pair up still, but one has taken a very big growth spurt since added to the tank. So far the smaller clown seems to stay close to the surface, and hosts the red ball valve from the return line.
 
The larger clown is hosting the clay pot and tiles as soon as they were introduced, shows aggressive behaviour toward the smaller clown.
