Oscellaris and Clarki/Tomato in one tank?

I have two Ocellaris in my 140 gal tank, but they would not host BTA. So i thought of adding either Clarki or Tomato clown, that are likely to host the anemone. Do you think the clowns could get along?
 
If your concern is having a clown host, I would suggest giving it some time. It took my naked clowns a couple of months before they went over to the Anemone. Both Clarki and Tomatos can be very aggressive; I wouldn't chance it.
 
Clarkii's are more aggressive than ocellaris'. Give them time and they might host (it took mine a long time before they hosted). I made the mistake of adding a Clarkii (not knowing they don't get along) because I had an extra BTA. The clarkii evicted the ocellaris' from all of the BTA's. Fortunately for the ocellaris', they clarkii was found carpet (well, hard wood) surfing one afternoon.
