Maroon and Ocellaris/Percula compatible?

[jayray007]

I've read the majority of Posts in the "Anemones & Clownfish" forum, and I don't see anyone specifically addressing this possibility. So, is it likely for me to be able to have a pair of Perc/Ocell and a single juvenile Maroon in a 220 gl. reef tank with 500lbs of TBS live rock?

Well i have a maroon and what i can identify as an ocellaris (was falsly id´ed by lfs)...
they live in the same nem and get along just fine..

Thats how the non maroon looks like (looks like ocellaris to me)

Thanks Theomi! Great pic! It looks like an Ocellaris to me...
So, you have a Maroon and this fish both hosting the same anenome? That is awesome! Did you introduce them both at the same time, as juveniles? How long have they been together in the same tank?

it´s not my clown on the picture but it looks exactly like it..
They live in the same nem, I bought the nem and maroon as a couple some months ago and wanted a friend for the clown badly...
So at the lfs the other day i saw this little clown that at first glace looked kind of maroon to me so i asked the lfs guy and he said, "yes thats a maroon"..
I realised when i got home at looked at it more closely it wasnt..
It´s a juvy, only 5 cm long...
they have been in the same tank for a week now and they are happy...
When i introduced the newcomer it took aprox 2 hours before it was submisive and the maroon really didn pick much at it...
