BTA don't host A. ocellaris nor A. percula in the wild, but they do host just about all the clarki and tomato complex clowns. Here is the list from Fautin and Allen:
A. akindynos
A. allardi
A. bicinctus
A. chrysopterus
A. clarki
A. ephippium
A. frenatus
A. mccullochi
A. melanopus
A. omanensis
A. rubrocinctus
A. tricinctus
A. latzonatus (not in the Fautin/Allen book, but they do)
Premmas biaculeatus (Maroon Clown)
