A slight problem with mutiple Maroons in the same tank?

All,

I am looking for a little bit of advice on how to handle a slight problem that I have. I recently aquired a very nice 200 gallon tank with fish, corals and liverock. With this came a pair of Yellow Stripped Maroons. They host in a RBTA and are a happy couple.

I also have a 58 gallon tank that has a Yellow Stripped Maroon in it that I have had for 9 years or so.

Here is the problem that I need an answer to.

Can all 3 coincide in the 200 gallon tank?

Let me know if this scenario would work:
I would go get another BTA and get my other Marron to host in it in the opposite end of the tank away from the other pair. I haven't seen the female venture further than 1-2 feet from her anemone and the male not more than 1 foot.

Would like to know if this would be at all possible. I don't want to lose any of them nor have to find homes for one or the others.

Thanks,
Sailfish
 
This is a risk with any clownfish. Maroons are the most aggressive of all clownfish. You have all maroons. I would leave the 58 up or add a 30 to the 200 system for your old maroon. They only live about 20 years so you don't have long to wait. :-)
 
I have read that Maroons do not get along except if they are a mated pair, and they will not even tolerate juviniles.
