Afraid to say they will once they have thier true paring the other two can look out keep an eye on them until u get the true pair (when the female doubles her size) then get the other two out and back to the LFS soz to bare bad news ....

also keep an eye on the blue cheek gobies as thier diet is pods etc what theysift from the sand having two they are in competition for the same food if ur tank is under 12 months old never be enough pods to feed both gobies

other than that looking good mate gat some nice zoa's, mushrooms and you be well away

Nice tank, just to add percs and ocellaris are two different species, but seeing as marines are so hard to raise its not a problem if they hybridise

Haha, yeh. I am right in saying they are from totally different parts of the world, yes? Indopacific and australia?

EDIT: according to fishbase:
Percula: "Western Pacific: Queensland and Melanesia including northern Great Barrier Reef, northern New Guinea, New Britain, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu."

Ocellaris: "Indo-West Pacific: eastern Indian Ocean including Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Thailand, Malaysia, and northwest Australia to Singapore, Indonesia, and the Philippines; ranges north to Taiwan and the Ryukyu Islands."

Hi thanks for the replies. Im just waiting for the halides to come on before taking the pictures. The tank is approx 350l in volume.
I have been told about the gobies being difficult to feed, as such i am adding live pods sold for dragonets. Additionally researched the issues with clowns and all seemed to say that it would be ok having 4 as the non-dominant 2 would just keep out of the way..... Though as with everything I'll keep an eye on it and remove fish if needsbe.
The corals I have now include;
Torch coral
2 Octobubble
3 Sarcophyton (toadstool)
Branching hammerhead and frogspawn
Flouro green trumpets
Red sea xenia
Gorgonia
Mushrooms, leathers and zoas.

This picture shows the tank after the lights have been on for about 15 minutes so the corals still haven't expanded.

Again feel free to ask questions, and make comments.
