Hello, looking for opinions and thoughts on what type of maroon clownfish to add to my reef. Interested to hear other reefers experiences, pros and cons. Also want to know which maroon member will more likely host in the rbta I have. Thanks!

It is my understanding that they are all basically the same fish, just different color variations. Have owned several of them and all have have hosted RBTA's so doubt it matters which variation you choose.

can I add 4 to my tank. I have 6 nems that could use attention all relatively close to each other Or would they just end up fighting to the death
Didn't know there was more than one type of maroon. Anyhow love mine and rbta is natural host so should work out. I wouldn't add more than two and make sure one is much larger. Add the smaller first.
I have a Lighting maroon and looking into getting a RBTA do you think he/she would quickly home it Is it normal for them to host an anemone quickly ?
Both my maroons were captive bred and may have never even seen a nem. Both went right to the RBTA in a couple days.
Very nice. I’ll have to give it a go. It’s just weird seeing my clown host a blank corner.

Maroons can get quite large. Do not do 4 unless you want dead ones. A pair would be fine, just get them as juveniles and let them hash out the details. 
All maroon clowns are the same species (Premnas biaculeatus) unless it is a hybrid.

Oops, forgot that. Make that Amphiprion biaculeatus.

How long has the wait been, do you try anything to encourage the meet up. I saw a video online where a guy introduces the fish right away to the nems to promote the relationship

Dont buy from LA they have gotten so much worse over the years with fish being sick. It just the color or pattern you want though, all else is the sameThere’s a couple variations listed in LA website
Yep only 2, they will also more than likely attack you when you put your hands in the water, maroons are mean but still my favorite clownfishMaroons can get quite large. Do not do 4 unless you want dead ones. A pair would be fine, just get them as juveniles and let them hash out the details.
