It all depends... If you can get a large healthy specimin to start with - much lager than your maroon's - then no. But you need to make sure your tank is ready - at least 6 months old (nems don't do well with all changes in a new tank). There is a lot more involved than just will the maroons host it - that's probably why you haven't heard much.
Tell us more about your tank.
Also - if you can - wait 6 months to get the nem - then wait another few for it to grow and really get happy and settled BEFORE you get the maroons. That will help.

a rough guideline is that the nem's diameter should be 3x the length of the female.
where that comes from i have no idea, but i think the point is to get one large enough the maroon doesnt 'love' it to death.
mine are great
very happy!

Yeah as others have said make sure you get the nem establilished first. Back when I had my gsm I made the mistake of putting her in first and then adding the nem...killed it within a couple of days. I actually had a gsm, fuzzy dwarf lion and a flame angel in my tank, just make sure to find a reef safe flame angel and that the clown and angel are big enough to not become food. Sorry dont have a pic of all 3 together but I got the clown and the flame angel...

6 is minimum not average 
ymmv--using old water, perfect parameters, great light, nem not shipped but bought from a friend, etc.
