Maroons are notoriously difficult to pair. The larger is the female and she is very particular who she will let near her. Since she is established, I would take the other clown back to LFS or to another tank and get a maroon that is significantly smaller and try gradual into with acclimation box.
Good luck. Some clowns just will not pair.

maybe to make them eat, feed frozen or live food, they will love it

GSP is the devil and clowns are bad pets
Seems like you have a lot of emergencies. May want to slow down and do some research before just buying everything. Per previous posts you've had anemone trouble, mixed predators and prey, and now a notoriously mean fish with one that is less so.

Yeah my anemone die off but only that one died other than that was doing good so no idea what happened to it
It will not eat if threatened or scared. May need to put in own tank to get to eat. Then use some mysis, brine, roe, etc. Something they love.
