I have 2 ocellaris clowns and 2 big gold stripe maroon clowns the one maroon host my green carpet while the other one and my 2 ocellaris host my Sebae Anenome at the same time
 
That sounds awesome! But what size tank? If your female maroon is anything like my friends, I wish you the best of luck once she matures. They get nasty to almost any fish I have seen in there and can't imagine the havoc that will be upon the small ocellaris.......
 
Well the fish gods are with you for the time being. Do you by chance have a back up tank/plan if things turn ugly?

Alright.. Interesting first post here at RC.. Welcome. Lets see pictures, and continued documentation.

It wont last.. This should be a sticky so we can show what happens when you put two pairs in the same tank. Everyone should know how this ends.
 
I have two white stripe maroons ( paired ) and 1 true perc and 2 false percs, they do pretty good together, unless the percs get to close to their nem, but over all it isn't bad.

the female maroon would chase them about 5 -10 inches never really comes in contact with them. just close enough to push them off.
 
Your OPNIONS are appreciated but these have been introduced to the tank at the same time they know their place and they just coexist it won't end bad cause there are rare incidents where this has worked and in smaller tanks then mine. If you introduce them at the same time they will be fine yes they may chase each other off but they will not kill each other it is just like dogs in my case the maroon is the alpha due to size but they still host the same Anenome and they get along why do people always look at the negative of things and I'm not being disrespectful or anything like that just when you said so people know how this will end was just completely wrong!!!!
 
Maroons and ocellaris have actually been known to pair up and have babies. What is odd to me is that you have two Maroons that are that big and they aren't going at it more. Fish have personalities and what works or doesn't work in one tank can be different in another. It also depends on how bound the fish are to their anemones.
In mixed species tanks things are often OK until a fish comes into breeding condition and then you never know what will happen. It is possible to have two breeding pairs of clowns in the same tank. I have done it for over 5 years with a pair of percs and a pair of orange skunks in a 60 gal tank, but these clowns are usually not nearly as aggressive as maroons. Good luck and keep an eye an your tank dynamics.

Hmmm... very large, mature maroons in the same tank with other clowns for a year. Maybe the nay sayers should pipe down on the amount of confidence they have and on the condescending attitudes i often see when someone violates some fake rule of consensus. Sure things may change if the maroons pair up and start spawning but they are just as likely to not be a problem. In fact these are likely two large females, guessing that the change from female to male is much more difficult than the opposite. Also let’s be honest it is no big deal if things do change either you deal with it or you don't. Spare me the self-serving “I would never” BS. How about this, we give the reefer a few polite cautions and wish him luck, as some in here have done. Must agree pictures are always nice when you have them.
 
Just like people say carpet anenomes should be in a well established tank i got my anenome 1 week after starting my first tank and he is still with me to this day and growing!!!! Alot of things can be accomplished even though the book says otherwise!!!
 
What type of "carpet" ?

And a lot of things can be accomplished just by luck too.

Going to be honest, given the fish that you have, and the young age of this tank, I see some big issues in the coming future.
