Adding a 1.5" Black Ocellaris to a existing nemo pair?

Pardon me if this sounds like a dumb question.

I have a pair of regular nemo clown, they have been together for 2 years, they occupy one corner of the tank and the big mama usually fend off any intruders.

Now here is the question. What r the chances if I add a 1.5" black Ocellaris?

1) blacky wants to join the family but the nemo pair refuse so they get physical and kick him out then blacky may die being the smallest fish in the tank.
2) refuse him in the beginning then accepting him after few weeks.
3) nemo pair accepting him right away.
4) blacky have no interest joining the family and live happily by himself.
 
didn't realize there is a sub forum dedicate to Anemones & Clownfish.
after some more reading looks like this is a rather bad idea.
 
In general, the rule is one pair of clown per tank, unless the tank is large, and by large I mean at least 3-400 gallons.

The existing clown pair of yours will kill the new black ocellaris.
 
so lets call it what it is, an ocellaris. no such thing as a nemo species of clownfish

I think all the "nemos' died right after that movie when Mommie took the kid and bought a little ocellaris and a goldfish bowl. That really did happen A LOT. When the "nemo" ban is in effect, can we ban 'false percs' too?
