Purple Pseudochromis compatibility

We have a 29 Biocube, stocked with a green goby, black goby, yellow jawfish and saddleback clown. How would a purple pseudochromis get along with these. The clown is somewhat aggressive towards new comers but settles down after a day or so.
 
i had a purple pseudochromis in a 30 gal by itself for a long time. after adding some tankmates and he became very territorial because he was by himself for so long. So i just had him and a six line wrasse together with alot of rockwork and they did ok. I now have a bi color pseudochromis in a 55 gal with other tankmates and they get along fine,but they were all added around the same time.
 
If you like the colors of the purple and want a pseudo, try to find an ora orchid. I had one for 2 years before he jumped, and he was a model citizen. Got along great with a black perc and watchman goby. Extremely pretty fish as well.
 
mine chased my yellow coris wrasse quite a bit...so i would say they are territorial to similar bodied fish. then he jumped and my wrasse has been much happier. they are jumpers so make sure he's in a covered tank (biocube should be fine). mine jumped out of a pretty small hole.
 
I added one last to my current tank of 2 clowns, and a coral beauty angel and is doing fine with everything.
