The Maroons will kill your other clowns ! They are the nastiest and the most aggressive of all clownfish species and they do get up to 6 inches. Do not mix clownfish species in a tank.

If you get 2 small Maroons there's a chance they will pair up. Maroons are the most difficult Clownfish to pair in my experience.
Your tank is large enough to support 2 or 3 pairs of Clownfish IMO but I would expect the Maroon to immediately evict the Ocellaris out of the best Anemone once the Maroons mature. If the Anemone are close together I would expect the Maroons to claim both of them.
