1 baby maroon clown fish, very tiny guy probably isn't even 1/2 a inch. Could easily be eaten by larger fish. 30 gallon is smallest tank you want for a maroon though bigger is advisable.

Orange Ocellaris clownish. Female 2.5-3 inches estimate 2-4 years old.

These aren't compatible and will need to go into different tanks if title wasn't clear.

Free to supporting members.
Location Santa Clara.

I also have a free 13.5 Evo for a kid, or new reefer with all equipment included. The orange clown currently resides in this tank.
 
@MichaelB - what is the advisable tank size for a pair of percula clowns? i had a pair in a 20g for a while along with a blue tang. i got the tank like that and folks were surprised that I was able to keep a blue tang in there for the life of the tank.

20gal is fine for a pair of perc. A blue tang anything less than 150 gallons tank is cruel to the fish better a 6ft tank as they get huge and like to swim.
Just because it can fit in a smaller tank doesn't mean you should do it.

what a baby blue tang? Keep them while they are little and then pay it forward to someone as they get bigger?

I don't personally agree with that practice. If you have a larger tank it can go in and your growing it out, or you are getting a larger tank I would understand. Yet to get a fish purposely that you know you don't have a sufficient tank to hold it in isn't cool to me. Especially for tangs and the like that love to swim all over the tank.

Just my opinion here that it shouldn't be done ethically. So take it for what it is my feelings not a law.
