Maroon clownfish can/will chase any new fish. Depending whether it has an established territory, hiding places, the size of the 2 fish. I do not think anyone can say yes or no to this question - because each individual fish is differentWhen I order my fish I put them in a 29g to see if they are sick. well when I had flame angelfish the maroon start chasing flame angel all across the tank. so I'm wondering about the red coris wrasse??
The main issue is the age and size of the fish - sometimes the maroon will kill everything - (they can get to 6 or or so inches) - I somehow get the feeling that the OP is talking about the 2 red colored fish (maybe not) - I do not think thats a factorHow large is the tank the two fish would go into? The larger the tank the more likely the success.
IME maroon clownfish claim a much larger territory than Ocellaris clown fish.
If the tank is large enough, and the rock work allows it, consider putting a divider in the tank for a time.
House the fish on opposites sides and let them establish their own separate territories.
Best of luck
The colour is only the factor when they’re of a similar body shape but when they’re a totally different body shape I don’t think it does matter. The body shape with the maroon and the coris is almost totally different - the only similarity is the compact body (which even then it’s not the same when you include the fins) and not as robust as a Zebrasoma tang.The main issue is the age and size of the fish - sometimes the maroon will kill everything - (they can get to 6 or or so inches) - I somehow get the feeling that the OP is talking about the 2 red colored fish (maybe not) - I do not think thats a factor
