I currently have 2 Occelaris clownfish in my 75 gallon tank (as well as a yellow tang, and a few other fish.)

I'm looking to add maybe 8 clownfish, and possibly making this tank a clownfish harem.

My question is: can I mix black occelaris/other types of clownfish with my reg. occelaris clownfish?

bad idea....

the tank is slightly pushing it in that 75g to begin with. should be in larger tank... but your current clowns are already established. and will most likely kill off the other 8 clowns added...if you added all them when they were very small. you would have had a chance to do what you want to do. but its not a good option to do right now...chances are way more in favor of not working out... plus dropping in 8 fish at once is tough for the system to handle that much of a jump in bioload.....best advice. break down tank, get a bigger tank. get 8 very small clowns and see what happens. but your current system. i wouldnt even attempt
 
^^^I agree with the above^^^(mostly)

IMO, even if you were to add all the clowns at one time, eventually (sooner rather than later) a dominate pair will kill off all the rest, especially in that size system.
