The photos are not brillant but please look at them and say im abit lost i know i got 2 common clowns or think so one is orange and other is black and white. The bigger black one with yellow i think is a clarkii.

1. the first picture looks like it could be a clarkii but it also looks dark enough to be a juvinal black and white percula clown?

2. the second clown looks like it might be a bluestipped clownfish cause of the white tail
here is a link to the bluestipeed clownfish

3. the tang looks like a Scopas Tang

The unidentified Clownfish is either Amphiprion sebae or Amphiprion clarkii, and a very nice specimen at that.

The Tang is either Zebrasoma scopas or Zebrasoma rostratum. I highly doubt that it is a Z. rostratum, because they are very rare and cost hundreds of dollars.

Z. scopas is very similiar to the popular Yellow Tang, Z flaviscens. Your 180L tank will be suitable until he grows to a size of around 5-6'', at which point he will need to be moved to a larger tank. Tangs need plenty of room to swim, or else they will suffocate in their own mucus (Tangs regenerate mucus very rapidly, and if they do not swim fast all day long the mucus will grow back faster than it is eroded (or so I've heard)). Ideally, he should be kept in no less than a 450L tank, since Z. scopas can reach lengths of more than 30cm.
