Can a True Percula and a Premnas biaculeatus (maroon) be mixed in a 65 gallon tank?

I've always liked the look of the maroon clowns and was wondering if I could have a true Percula and a maroon in my 65 gallon. As of right now the tank only has 2 blue/green chromis, one true Percula, Miller blenny, and a Kaudern's cardinal fish. No anemones at this time.
Thanks for the help!
 
Don't do it! Though the temptation is great. Get another smaller perc if you want another clownsfish. It's funny you should post this ? Just the other night I was looking at a maroon. They are beautiful fish! Right now I have 2 Mochca Percs (a mated pair) in a 30 gallon and that's all that will go into that tank. When I get my 80 they'll go in there. No more clowns even in that large a tank. Maroons are very aggressive and it's the largest of the clown species. Keep it simple and take it slow starting out and you'll really enjoy the hobby. But I have to say those gold banded maroons are gorgeous.
 
It will end up being just the maroon clown in pretty short order.

Cool looking fish to be sure, but maroons are mean SOBs.
