My Clowns must be the exception to this rule! As with adding any fish to an established tank you always run the risk of them fighting! I had 4 clowns (two Black Storm, one Wyoming White and an Ocellaris Clown) that were all added together! 8 months later I added a Snowflake, two Half Naked and a Platinum Clown) which have all been together now for about 10 months! I have never seen them fight! Oh sure, they may run the others away from their territory but they do that with any fish that comes near! I also have a very large Long Tentacle Anemone in the tank and 7 of the 8 clowns host! 1 does not show any interest! Bottom line is, you never know how they will react with each other! I have been lucky that mine have not yet begun to fight! I did have another clown in a different tank that would fight anything that you put in new! It is now in a tank by itself or as I call it, solitary confinement!

Those are all mostly tank raised ocellaris so you are building an Ocellaris harem (with one perc) in that Long tentacle anemone. Interesting to see how they do once two of them decide to be female and dominant male.
