Marroon clownfish pair question

lost ball in high weeds
I have a 265g tank with 300lbs of rock lightly stocked with 3 large healthy rbta anemones. The tank has been running for a couple years. I currently have a large blackfoot clownfish but I would like to get a pair of gold stripe maroon clownfish. I know the pair would not be compatible with the blackfoot. I have several friends that would like to take her.
My concern is aggressiveness. I've read maroons are the most aggressive. I have a lightly stocked system but I am concerned about the other fish. I have several large tangs and a few wrasses and plans to add several more fish in the future. Should I risk adding the maroons or would I be better off with a pair of Picasso's or other less aggressive fish?
 
Assuming you remove the existing clownfish and that your GSM pair associates with an anemone, you should be fine in this sized tank.
 
I have a 300 with a pair, you should be fine. I actually also have a clarki in there as well. Not by choice really it was take it or the guy was going to throw it out. They stay at opposite ends . But don't be fooled they are pretty aggressive. My female ruled the tank until I added a PBT.
