Clown fish: aloneor in pair?

[SwimsWithFish]

Would you recomend me getting a pair or a single in my 30 gallon reef?
Does it make a difference?

I would say you could do a pair, but if you wanted to do an alone one, that would work , too

Would they be more aggressive in a pair?

if you got a mated pair, you should be good

If you do get 2 and put them in at the same time get one a little bigger than the other. The larger will turn into female and the smaller into male. Be careful adding any other fish to a pair of clowns especially if they turn into a breeding pair.

So if I put them in a 30 gallon that's all I can have??

if they mate, yes...

Or you could add the clowns last and put what other fish you want in first. That way they don't claim the whole tank as their own
