Maroon clowns are notorious for being the most aggressive clownfish out there. I wouldn't suggest attempting keeping both the Maroon and Ocellaris in the same system, given how small your tank is.
The minimum recommended tank size for a Maroon clown is 30 gallons (113.5 litres), so much more than what you currently have.

I think that if the Maroon is showing aggression already to an established clownfish, it's not going to end well for the Ocellaris.

Given that you bought a larger Maroon, I'm assuming it's transitioned to female. This means that you potentially have 2 female clownfish in your very small tank, which, again, won't end well for the Ocellaris.

If it were me, I would take the Maroon clown back to the store and exchange it for another Ocellaris clown.

I'm sure other people will chime in and help.
