Stocking question.

65 gallon tank

Fish: filefish, sunburst anthia, fairy wrasse, cleaner wrasse, lawnmower blenny and a pair of bonded snowflake clownfish.

I've got 2 anemone one is Riterri I believe and a carpet anemone. The clown pair don't ever even go near the carpet anemone.

If I brought in another pair of clowns for the carpet to host, would there be aggression from the current pair?

The pic shows the full tank and in the middle bottom the 2 anemones are shown.

I had a pair of clowns for 3 years and recently they have been attacking my hand whenever I put my hand in the tank to do maintenance to the point I was not able to do anything. I had to remove the clown and banish it to my secondary tank.

Just saying so you know what to expect when they grow big. If I upgrade my tank to a bigger one, I would probably not get another clown, but it's just me.
 
Off topic did you glue those corals to the glass? If not what did you use make them float?

+1 above as well.
Haha those are home made. I glued those pizza holder things to suction cups and wrapped the macroalgae around it to grow out.

Yeah these guys don't attack me directly but will push out pipette when there isn't food coming out of it. But I love them too much and had to ask and see if there was hope! Thanks for your input
 
There will most likely be aggression from the pair that is already in the tank as they are established. Not worth the risk in my opinion.
Thanks for the input. I was very hopeful haha. Any fish you would recommend I get? I am maybe going to add one more.
 
How about a small tang? When it becomes big, sell it and get a small one again. Anything which will help with algae control.
Any tang you recommend? I've tried yellow tang before
 
Could try a tomani, bristle tooth, or yellow eye cole tang. You won’t have to transfer those out of your tank as fast as the others.

I like bristle out of those options. Thanks for the input!
