Not maroons you can’t they will kill each other you would have to get one that’s already paired
Maroons are one of the hardest clownfish to pair because of their aggressiveness they often kill the mate your attempting to pair it with sometimes even after they have been paired. A mated pair would be best or if you do attempt get 2 small babies or one larger and one smaller so they can sort it out as they grow up or their will already be a set hierarchy/gender. But in my opinion best to be kept single or if you want pair another type of clown.
Also I know certain dominant color clowns can show aggression towards eachother. Orange dominant attacking white dominant and etc. I'm not sure if it's also the same between gold and lightening but just something else to think about.
It's not to say that they won't I just paired a Wyoming white and a Darwin. It's definitely possible. But some can show aggression towards other colors. It's easier to pair ones with similar dominant color. But that being said even 2 of the same color won't necessarily pair. The size is a more important thing than color either 2 small so they can figure out over time as they grow which one is which or decide for them and get one bigger to begin with.
No they can bond pretty easily actually. I dont think color really matters either as every time I have tried to pair clowns (except maroons) it has worked regardless of color. Pairing a wild caught percula with a mocha storm was harder but has since worked out as well. Maybe wildly different color patterns confuse them as it might indicate a separate species but not really certain there and i dont think there is any research to actually back up anything, just anecdotal evidence.
