What' gonna happen with these clowns?

[running scott]

I have 160 gallon tank, stocked with a yellow eyed Kole tang, yellow tang, neon dottyback, lawnmower blenny, lyretail Anthias, flame hawkfish, Fiji blue devil damsel, and a flame angelfish. Lots of rock, soft corals, and five BTA. I recently had a pair of occelaris clowns that were hosted by a large toadstool coral die. They never were allowed to venture out of the toadstool. They were always chased by the blue devil, and the flame angel. I don't know the cause of death and they were the only fish to die. So I wanted to get another pair of clownfish but I wanted them to be hosted by my BTA's, and I thought I needed a more aggressive species so I was looking for a medium maroon that I could pair with a tiny one. I was only able to find two 1 inch gold stripe maroons. Put them in the tank, they went straight into the BTA's. They slept together in one BTA on the very first night. The strangest thing to me is how all the other fish seem to stay clear of these tiny little clowns. Any predictions for this fishy situation?

They will probably be fine, maroons are tougher and they have a protected area/host

Maroons will not put up with much. Should work out. Pairing the two would be the only possible problem I can see but I doubt there would be a problem.

As the other responses say, I would say there wouldn't be a problem.

Good or bad outcome I will keep all posted as to what happens. So far I have not read any accounts of anyone keeping two juvenile maroon clowns, and having them pair. I have been watching them and one does seem to to be the dominant fish. This fishes color also seems to be a darker maroon color where the less dominant I has a more orange tint.
