Mixing clowns question

I have a mated pair of GSM's in a 215g and they have their own spot decorated with 3 anemonies. The anemonies are grouped together and no issues. This pair does not go far from the anemone and never goes to the front side of the tank.
I have a friend that has 2 mated false perk pairs. One pair owns the 280g tank while the other pair resides in a 2g breeding tank that is in the main tank. They tried to release the new pair into the tank but the other pair did not like that and started to attack.
If I release the new pair in my tank after lights out and in the area where the other clowns do not go, do you think they will have a chance or is it not worth trying?
Thanks for the help.

Your tank is large enough to make it possible but I still think it's unlikely. GSM are insane when it it comes to other Clownfish.

Thanks Bang. Any suggestions what to do with this pair? The family is pretty attached to them and want to find a good home. I thought about getting an anemone for their tank and letting the existing pair take hold then releasing the other pair on the opposite side.
