Pair of GSM and a pair of false percs

I just wanted to get your thoughts on this. I currently have 2 gold stripe maroons (they are a pair) in my 125gal. One of our fellow canreefers is looking for a good home for his/her pair of false percs. would it be too risky to have them together? (maroons have been in the tank for only 4 days)

good idea or bad idea??

Very, very BAD idea. My GSM clowns had a 210g with 5 large anemones & they wouldn't share the tank with any other clowns. Eventually had to catch out the terrified Ocellaris clowns & rehouse them in another tank. Beautiful fish, but very much bullies.

I agree. GSM clowns are known to be bullies, and odds are they would terrorize other clown fish.
