False Percula mixing with a large Maroon

[95harley]

Need advice on if this will work and if so how many. I have a 240g (8'x2'x2') that I won't to add some smaller colorful fish to.
I already have a single maroon clownfish that is about 4" long. As I'm not too familiar with the clowns.
I'm wondering if I could safely add some False Perc's and if so how many?
Thanks.

Hey 95
I was able to do it in my 215. I have a pair of GSM's which host an anemone and have been in the tank for 2 years.
I introduced a pair of very small perks on the opposite end of the tank and left the lights off for 2 days. She did find the perks but they host my hammer which is next to the GSM. She was pissed at first but she does not bother them since they are not a threat based on their size.
She does go buy and pay them a visit from time to time but no aggression.
My tank is not the norm!

I have a very Large Marron that runs my tank and a false percula. They are both fine, once in a while the marrow will chase the percula but thats about it, before i baught them somebody i had them in a 55 together thats how i got them in a package and they are both fine. I just dont know if they were both introduced at the same time. He never told me. And two tangs that get along great, but maybe my tank is just a freak idk lol

Kurtymac,
I've never seen a tank layed out like that......How do you keep the water from falling out?

Thought I was the only one goofy enough to have that thought when I saw the pic! Never mind the fish, check out the gravity defying water!!

Harley, from what research I have done, having a different clown isn't so much the issue as the agressiveness of a Maroon as it gets older. Maroon's want and demand to be the Top Dogfish! They can be down right brutal! If he is already established in your tank he may not want to give up any tank space. One thought might be to pull him out, add the other fish, then put him back in. IMHO. Good Luck.
