Can you put a maroon clown in a 90 gallon tank with 2 true percula clowns?

oh, and while we are at it, why do clownfish attack sexy shrimp when I add them to the tank, but after the first dau, they leave them alone?

I wouldnt try it. They may get a long for a little bit but Im sure down the line there will be a fight to the death. Mixing clowns usually never doesn down well.

When I had my sexy shrimp in my tank, before they started eating my zoas, they clowns would chase them away from the anemones. Sexys are anemone shrimp and Im sure the clowns dont want them around anything that is their host.
