Maybe....I've had 3 Maroon clowns over the many years (2 of them I have still). 2 of the 3 lived for many years each in my 30 gallon hex. Once associated with an anemone, they aren't much for taking advantage of any space even if they have it.
I've also not experienced the aggressiveness that Maroons are reputed to have. In spite of them breeding now, they are still not overly aggressive. They don't allow you or anyone to get really into the anemone, but who wants to do that anyway? Their patrol zone around the anemone isn't more than maybe 2 inches.
The female is much larger than the male, and the female might be 3".
That's my experience, FWIW.
