Looking for a Large Clownfish for 180g Reef

[Spicolte]

Hey all;

I’m looking to add a clownfish to my 180-gallon reef tank. Unfortunately, my very large porcupine puffer limits my options, as I need a clownfish that's too big for him to consider as food.

I previously had a Maroon Clown that did well in the tank but passed away a few years ago. Since then, I’ve checked several local stores but haven’t been able to find a clownfish large enough to be safe with the puffer.

Does anyone know of a store that might have larger clowns in stock? Or does anyone have one they’re looking to rehome?

Thanks in advance!

Consider maroons or clarkii the largest two types of clowns. And agressive enough to hold their own.

I haven't been recently but petco on blossom hill in san jose always has maroon clowns for the most part.

@Woeday has designer maroons as well, but they would probably smaller.

I know @robert4025 has some pretty large tomato clowns in one of his display tanks. I dont know if he would be willing to part with one. They were given to him from @Jessican before she moved to Texas.

They are spotcinctus clownfish.

A fellow reefer mentioned the tomato would be aggressive to wrasses and butterflies. I have a butterfly, so wonder if the tomato is not going to be a good addition?

I thought maroons were ferocious?
