will the peaceful community fishes ( yellow tang , clowns , 6 line , raccoon btrfly , chromis , etc ) get stressed seeing the aggressive ones (lionfish , puffer, trigger, snowflake eel , etc) right next door ?
nope it will work just fine. I have had 55 gallon tankn set up this way with the aquascapeing transition going from one to another to make it seem like on large tank. it works even better if the tanks can be flush together..

i'd like to butt them together ( i think it would look pretty cool - like one long tank with a glass wall seperating them 2 - ) but in reality i am going to have to be able to get an algee magnet to the side close to each other and scrape - so i need to leave about 3 " in between
I just left enough room with the rock work to get in there with my hands to clean that glass and it worked fine. made like valley in the rock so the rock wasnt in the way of getting to the glass.

great and thx again - very excited - my peaceful is up 11 months now - always wanted the puffer , sfe and lion - fiquered i had to wait for the others to die off before switching to an aggressive tank - but this solution works great - i have the room just to the left of the one up now -
