New to clown pairs. Trio possible?

[MreasyC]

I've been in the hobby for 4 years but only have FOWLR experience in 100g+. So forgive my naïveté but this is a new area for me in the hobby.
I am running a Nuvo fusion 20. Mixed reef.

Current livestock:
- pair of Longfin clowns
- single extreme Picasso clown
- pair of bloodshrimp
- tiny blue strip goby.

I bought the Picasso a week ago from my local reef club and saw the Longfin clowns yesterday and had to get them! (I have no self control). I know clowns don't do well outside of pairs but they are quite small and honestly I'm just hoping they will here. Need I figure out if I need to get rid of my Picasso clown [emoji31]. Attached is a video I took today with some aggression. Will this subside or do i need to make a move now?? Experienced clowns owners help!

Just as I'm posting this. I see it is a very popular question.. Here is a vidoeo for reference of behavior and size of fish.

You may wake up to a dead picasso one day... its just a gamble especially since they are different species

Most likely 2 of the same kid will eventually pair up and gang up on the 3rd one ... that tank is small for 3 clowns of any kind ... just my thought

don't do 3 in your size tank
