2 different pairs of clowns hosting in the same anenome??

Has anyone had this happen to them? I have a pair of onyx clowns that were hosting in my BTA. I recently obtained a pair of Black Saddleback clowns who stayed on the complete opposite end of the tank for over a week. Last night, I noticed that the female Saddleback was in the BTA with the onyx. Tonight, I'm noticing that the pair of Saddlebacks are in the BTA w/ the onyx. During the day, the Saddleback hover around the BTA, but don't go in it. I see a little chasing, but definately nothing vicious. Can this work, or am I asking for trouble? Should I try obtaining another anenome for one of the pairs to host? Can that happen? My grand plan was for one of the pairs to host in the Frogspawn or Bubble, but it is not working. Any help is appreciated.
 
The saddlebacks will win the territory battle and are definitely going to take over the available hosting anemone. Possibly more then 1 anemone if it was available.

Personally, I would choose the pair I wanted long term and remove the other.

Good luck.
