150 gallon reef tank soon to be

Hi I am starting a 150gallon reef tank soon and wanted to put a lightning maroon clownfish pair with a Black & White Ocellaris pair will they co-exist?

Maroon clowns are known to be aggressive but I have an ocellaris and a maroon in a small 25 gallon and they co-exist just fine ignoring eachother. But lightning maroons I've been told are even more aggressive the regular maroons and will pick on any other clowns in the tank and potentially to the point of killing them. I love lightning maroon clowns they are my favorite but I can't have any of them cause of my other clowns in both of my tanks. When I went to buy them at a lfs near my house the owner talked me out of it because of the aggression, he put his hand in one of their display tanks to show me how aggressive they can be and it bit his hand in front of me! So my best advise to you is choose one species and stick with that or other clowns that are compatible. Remember clowns are in the damsel family and some damsels are known to be very aggressive.
