I tried this not too long ago on a 4 foot long 125 gallon tank. I had an established pair of Ocellaris Clownfish since the summer, and tried adding a pair of skunk clowns. Initially, they Ocellaris Clownfish divided the 2 skunks apart, and started going after each one individually. After the first day though, the skunks got back together, and only the female Ocellaris Clownfish was going after the 2 clownfish. This went on for quite a while until eventually, i removed the female Ocellaris Clownfish. The male Ocellaris Clownfish could care less that the skunk clowns are in there, and the skunks vice-versa. I'm going to try adding a small Ocellaris Clownfish to pair up with the one that is currently in there.
I gave this a try because I read on reefcentral about people doing it successfully. It was tense when the fighting was going on and my midas blenny was trying to play referee with little success.
