Adding another pair.

I currently have a 125 gallon reef, with a Rose anenome with a pair of Ocellaris Clowns and i recently(about 2 weeks) added a Sebae Anenome and I'm thinking about adding another pair to the tank. Do you think this will cause alot of problems?

I was thinking about adding either a mated pair of Yellow banded Maroons or something like a pair of black perculas or a pair of true percs.
 
whooo stay away from the maroons unless you want to lose those percs!! really most people here are going to tell you that no... you cannot add a different species of clowns to your tank. it will cause fighting, death etc. I cant give you alot of info about it because i dont want to give you the wrong information.
Im not so sure its a good idea that u have 2 diff. species of anemones either as they can have chemical warfare agianst eachother and make eachother sick. you have a decent size tank.. so maybe someone will chime in with there experiences.

Id think about maybe one of the anemone crabs that host nems for the sebea (?)
 
it is possible to keep a couple of pairs in the same tank but there are no guarantees that they wont end up fighting,
in order to have the best chance at sucess, you should make sure the anemones are at opposite ends of the tank, and if possible remove the sebae to a remote tank first and allow the new pair to bond with the anemone before putting both fish and anemone in the tank at the same time, so that they have a home that they hopefully wont abandon and try to move into the other pairs anemone.i would try and go with a clown that is particularly fond of sebae anemone like a sebae clown, to avoid problems,definitely not maroons cause they dont like sebaes and do like bubbles, so they would evict and probably kill your occelaris immediatly.
 
Ok, yeah i figured Maroons would be a little bit on the aggresive side, I was thinking of an Anenome Crab. I may just get more ocellaris but i think ill try an anenome crab first. As far as having two different anenomes, has anyone had a problem with that?
