they're also called hippo tangs.

Nemo is an ocellaris clownfish. They look almost identical to percula clownfish though.

The tang will require at least a 100 gal aquarium. A lone clownfish is fine in about a 30 gal. They'll get to be about a foot long. Both clownfish and tangs can be aggressive.

Clownfish will usually defend one area of the tank with a good amount of aggression. Anemones are not needed, or optimal for clowns. Anemones are very hard to keep.
You can't have more than 2 adult clownfish in a tank, one male & one female. If you get two, get two small ones. They all start as unsexed juveniles then will mature (unsexed -> male -> female, although they can skip the male stage). One will become a female and the lesser a male. Large clowns kept alone will be females and will not tolerate another female.
