Maroons are usually agressive towards other clowns. Add them after the percs and if your lucky you will not get any fighting. JMO

Your taking a chance in a tank that size with 4 clown fish and different species. *Maroons can be moody. *I had to but my maroon and tomato clown together for a day and they fought like cats and dogs. If you do put multiple clowns in together, put them all in at the same time. *IMHO, i wouldn't do it. *Maybe others have an opinion on this? _________ 75g reef with Nova Extreme 8 bulb HO T-5 lighting, refuge, Remora skimmer, DSB, Seio powerheads, Acro's, LPS corals, assorted zoo's & mushrooms, Yellow Tang, Maroon Clown, Blue Cleaner Goby , Cleaner, Fire and Sexy Shrimp, Coco Worm, T.Crocea Clam, Derasa Clam

nah go ahead and add them just be sure at the same time. my two are best friends. it all depends on the fish but i had good luck. they swim side by side, and dont even fight for food.
