I did this with Maroon clowns. I had one, larger, very established for years...and I added a smaller one.
The larger one spent the first two days trying to kill the smaller one. Had I not intervened, I'm sure she would have succeeded. I finally caged the smaller one to prevent direct attacks. After 3 days, I let the smaller one out and "he" moved into an anemone on the far side of the tank.
Every day after that, the smaller fish moved closer to the larger. It took about 1 week and they were sharing an anemone. They began to breed about 3 months later.
