We want to add 4 clowns to our 65gal reef tank... Currently only have one BTA but will be adding more... The kids wanted the ones in the picture.
1. Can these go together?
2. Is it even a good idea to try and add 4 in there?
3. Is a blood orange clownfish as agressive as maroons?
Thanks In advance!!

No! Mixing different species of clownfish and adding more than one pair per tank is a huge risk, they can and will fight to the death.

I've never kept blood orange, but it should be less aggressive.

I'd recommend a pair of Ocellaris. Get the smallest one you find to guarantee it's a male, then get a bigger one and they'll form a pair. The bigger one will become a female if it isn't already.
