Can different species of clownfish (i.e. Skunk, Ocellerius, Percula, etc.) be kept on the same tank?

Can different species of clownfish (i.e. Skunk, Ocellerius, Percula, etc.) be kept on the same tank? I recently purchased 2 Ocell....(whatever!) and they are getting along famously but aren't hosting with an anemone. Yesterday, I purchase a skunk and it hosted right away in a breeding box but since I released him into the tank, I haven't seen him. Any ideas?

Sorry no, they will fight very territorial fish. And you only can have 2 of same spices in a tank.

Large enough tank..it can work but I'm talking a 6 foot tank...

Clownfish update. The Skunk Clown did re-appear right after my first post. All are still doing well and while they do pick at each other, they get along rather famously considering they should be naturally at odds. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Good luck but keep an eye. I have a pair of occ. I got a big and small to help mitigate the aggression. But 4 months later the little guy caught up in size now it's mostly posturing but aggression has increased

Final update. I was so happy! Everybody was interacting so well! Well.......Sunday morning I woke up to find both the Ocellaris clowns missing! Well...so much for that experiment.
