So he is my first inhabitant, and I was told by the LFS that they had the same temperament as a orange occelaris clown. Well when I got home with the fish, I checked around, and I am seeing that they are classified as semi-aggressive.

Well I wanted to avoid any kind of aggression in my tank and go with really docile fish.. I plan on adding a few Ignitus Anthias, a Purple Firefish, a wrasse, and possibly a Hippo Tang.

Will the B&W clown harass any of those, or are they mostly only aggressive to others of the same species??

thanks

IME with Baclk Ocellaris var. they tend to have a bit more "additude" than the Orange Ocellaris.I dont think that the Black Ocellaris will put a big problem up for you.Keep him/her well fed and try to get an anemone for him/her to call him/her own.
