A LSF about an hour from me has a pair of chrysopterus (for those new to clownfishes, not a a clarkii, but a member of the clarkii complex) and a large BTA in a 700G display tank. The female is the size of my hand and the undisputed queen of the entire tank, which she patrols regularly. Even the triggerfish hustle out of her way when they see her coming. The store had briefly tried to house a pair of ocellaris in the same system, but had to remove them soon after for their own safety.
