Maroon clownfish?

[weldrick208658]

I have an established 70 gallon reef tank with a Blenny cleaner goby dragonet pair of clownfish a scorpion fish and a basslet and I really like the look of the lighting Maroon clownish but I heard they were aggressive would I be able to add one or 2 with the other clownish pair or should I not at all

I wouldn’t. You would need a bigger tank for the clowns to coexist

Don't add a pair of maroons to the existing clowns - they will 100% fight eventually.

Yeah they are definitely territorial. Unless the Maroons are already paired , I would not introduce them into the tank I have a pair of maroons and when I introduced the second one I had to make sure it was much smaller than the female in order for them to get along. I kept the smaller male in a breeder box in the tank for about a week before releasing him The female is a real PITA. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you

Mine goes after the algea scraper when I'm cleaning the glass. They are aggressive little turds for sure.

Even if I get a pair of small juvenile maroons?

No maroons with other clowns.
Kids grow up. Two juvenile maroons do not make a pair and can often end up with a single fish when they decide to transition.
A maroon clown was my fist saltwater fish. Eventually she ended up in a 6ft 150g and she owned almost half of the tank. She would even rip corals off her rocks when I tried to add them. I did pair her twice after her first mate died but I didn't attempt to pair her until she had transitioned to female.
