Yes I have too but how long do they live? I know someone that had 2 clowns over 20 years old one recently died. They were both in at least 55 gallon tank I really think if you decide to do a small tank like that you might be able to get by with one Saltwater Aquarium Corals for Marine Reef Aquariums: Neon Blue Goby - Tank-Bred but in reality that tank is 20% less than a 10 gallon think about taking 20% of your home away and see how stressful it becomes.

Can a clown be put in a ten then?

I believe the recommended min tank size for a clown is 30 gallons.

On live aquaria is says ocerillis need 10 but i see how that would be wrong
 
I know my 2 year old clown would be to big in a 10 gallon tank. It would be just to stressful for it, it's now in a 55 gallon now and has claimed 1/4 of the tank. A 20 long would work for one because of the foot print not because of the water volume.
