I believe at one point I was told the bigger one here is a ocellius & maroon hybrid can anyone tell?
Is the bigger one on the left one of these?

Her mate died and trying to repair her didn't go so well :( It was a slaughter, they did to the little submission dance and stuff so It looked ok but in the morning he was too far gone.
This was about a year ago. :/ I want to try again but I'm not sure I have the heart.

It looks like the one on the right might be a blood orange clown; The smaller looks to be a maroon.
 
You may want to look into an acclimation box for them then. I know mark levenson sells them on his sight melevsreef.com. At least this way if it seems to agressive you can save it
 
Can you get another hybrid?

I don't know if they sell these things regularly, but I think your hybrid guess might be accurate.

Also an acclimation box for a while might give you an idea of whether she's gonna attack the second she's let out (i prefer to put the existing resident in the acclimation box).
 
Yeah totally is a blood orange (ocellaris maroon hybrid). I would try an acclimation box if you decide to try a new mate. LiveAquaria sells blood oranges, but I'd quarantine the hell out of a Live Aquaria fish before putting it in my tank!
 
So I can just put it in one of these cage / nursery box things? Since its a hybrid will a "male" maroon work? ( I would think so, but unsure)
