Just wondering if it would be possible to keep a pair of ocellaris clowns who live happily in there bta with a pair of clarkiis in my 90 g if I add a haddoni for the clarkiis? I currently have the ocellaris with my bta in my 90, just wondering if it would be safe to buy the haddoni and the clarkiis?

Personally I wouldn't do it. IMO, you would just end up with a pair of Clarkiis -- as I see them killing the Os.
Also, I am not a fan of mixing anemone species, I have had BTAs and a Haddoni in the same tank in the past (( a 75 )) and the Haddoni seemed to move a lot while sharing it with the BTAs. After I removed all the BTAs is stopped moving.

Are there any two clown fish that can co-exist in that same system? Sorry not trying to hi-jack just a question cause I to want to have an extra pair of clowns in my tank and I have a 72G bow front with a pair of Onyx Clowns was wondering if I can get a pair of Black and White if that would be a problem?

I've seen oce's, perks, and a maroon in the same tank. They were added small and raised together.
Its really hit and miss, with alot more misses. I would say for every 50-100 peole who ask about it, or try it, you will only find 1-2 who actually have long term success. I dont mean 1 year or even 2 years. I mean once they are mature and begin to spawn its game over for 99 of 100 Id bet.

Wow, lots of bad info going on here.
Here's the deal, sure you can put whatever together short term and they will appear OK at first, maybe even for a while, but eventually they will mature, and want to claim territory.
When this happens, it can be like overnight, all out war, maybe even deaths before you even notice.
Don't be fooled by short term success stories.
Even a 210g probably isn't big enough for 2 pairs or more IMO.
There are very rare situations, certain species that MAYBE might take host at opposite ends of tank, but you can't even count on hosts staying at opposite ends.
A couple people that are pretty experienced have many from the same clutch that worked out long term, but that is rare as well.
I would suggest reading the stickies at top to better educate yourselves by peeps that have been doing this long term, and learn from their exp.

Doesn't make any difference. A clownfish is a clownfish and they will respond to each other based on that, not different color morphs.
