Pretty sure I know the answer, but wondering if anyone has had success with a maroon clown in a large system with other clownfish?

Right now I have a 150 lagoon with a oscellaris clown pair and a skunk clown pair, amongst other fish. I also have a 40 gal with a maroon clown and another fish. Planning to upgrade soon to an 8ft, 270 gal tank. My question is regarding the clowns. Would it work to combine the two tanks into the new, bigger one? As in, would that be enough room for the clowns to get along or is the maroon just gonna go nuts on the others?

Thanks!

I've had the same Maroon Clown for over 20 years. They can be so unpredictable at times. What she does and when she does it still a mystery to me. A few years ago I put her and her boyfriend in a 200 peninsula with other clowns and some other fish. All seemed great for a longtime, then one day she went after a rabbit fish twice her size. She was relentless to the point I had to remove her because one of them was surely going to die. Messed her and the rabbit fish up pretty good. I had to move her to another tank.
