I've had a Naked Ocellaris clownfish since 2006, actually originally I had a pair but several years ago the other one disappeared. They were a mated pair but that was years ago. Would it be safe to add another ocellaris? I'm thinking another naked but maybe a white cheek variety. It's a 180 gallon with several bubble tips not that the anemones really matter for these captive bred guys.

You can definitely introduce a new clown. I would try to find one that is 1/2 the size or less than the female so that dominance/sex is clear.
