Awesome man. I'm happy for you. I'd just watch and see if things go sour at some point. Maybe your old one is still transitioning or something. Please update us in a month or so :)
I am constantly keeping an eye on them. But so far I can't see any damaged fin or any other parts on the pair. From time to time, I can see the bigger one pushing away the smaller one from the anemone they are sleeping in but I will sure keep monitoring them. I will report back in a few weeks time.
 
I’m sorry to hear about your female clown jumping tank. Thants always a heart breaker.
As for pairing the other two fish, how long has the Ocellaris been without the previous female? Introducing a larger clown to an already single “male” could be problematic if that male has already begone the process of transitioning to female while he has been alone.
Same thing happen to me but one only one wasy Ocellaris, but I got another slightly larger Ocellaris and they are always together.

I am curious when I get a 90 gallon, how I should move these two into that tank. I want to make sure they live nicely though it. One thing I thought of is make sure it it well establish includes snails and hermit crabs first.

But should anemones be place in the tank before I move the clowns
