I wouldn't add another clownfish of any kind to a tank that already has a pair.

I would not add another clown fish. Eventually one of your clowns will turn into a female and be larger and more dominant. There have been too many instances where the new addition is harassed to death. Some claim having multiple clownfish and clown fish pairs in larger 120 + gallon systems is possible.

Try going with another fish addition. Maybe a Blenny or royal gramma?

Best to also get something like a yellow tang and six line wrasse to add some color and algae/pest management!
