I added 2 new additions yesterday, the native goons are attacking the 2 that I purchased.

The new additions are bigger than the local native goons, and they won't stop. Will this

ever stop? I witness one being dragged by the tail like it was gorilla pimping.
 
They may settle their aggression or the old clowns may kill the new clowns. Generally, when keeping these types of clown harem tanks, it's adviseable to add the clowns at the same time and to add them when they are young. It looks like you have mature clowns meaning their agression and territorial nature is much worse now. Based on the behavior, I'm not optimistic your new clowns will fare well. It's hard to predict, but given my assumption of the size of the tank, I'm not optimistic.
 
If you’re going for a harem tank it’s best to add all the clowns at once to lessen the aggression. Adding two bigger ones is a bad idea if anything you should add two smaller ones.

The biggest one in your tank would be female and most likely the big one you just got is a female as well and they will fight till death.
