What is the smallest female clown you've seen?

[RonLarimer]

I bought my first saltwater fish on the 30th... a pair of false perc clowns. They were about 1.25 & 1.375 inches long so I assumed they would both be juveniles. However the 1st evening it was obvious that the larger was more dominant and within 24 hrs she started to dig.

 

I was shocked it was already demonstrating feminine traits.

 

Is this typical? Have you seen it in a smaller clown?

Yes, some specimens are dominant and territorial right after meta.
