I mated a large maroon female to a small male. After an initial attempt to add him to "her" tank which resulted in an instant, fin ripping, war, I removed both fish to a smaller tank with a divider. She attacked the divider for most of the first day. When she ignored him, I allowed a closely observed conjugal visit. I had to reseparate them once for a petty squabble, and then they both went back in the tank.

They are hosted by a BTA, and I will add that when said anemone is removed, they do not hang out together at all. When the anemone hits the water they are back in it together before the rock is even set down.
(I sent the rock and anemone to the aiptasia cleaning machine in the other tank)

IMO, maroons have no problem with any of the fish you mentioned Bev.
