I have a maroon and she is very aggressive. the people at the lfs told me not to mix any other clowns with the maroon because they will kill them. from my experience i would say that it is not a good idea to mix another clown with the maroon clown. for example on their aggressiveness, when i put my hand in the tank to give them an algae strip the maroon clown attacks my hand and sometimes i can feel her bite me. they are very pretty to look at though.

i have a false perc and a maroon in the same tank. i was nervous about it but they get along great. my lta tried to split and didn't make it, after that i thought my maroon was going to go after the false perc bacause his anemone wasn't there anymore. but that didnt' happen. they get along so good together that they sleep in the same corner of the tank every night. i don't have any problems.
i don't suggest trying to mix them. i have read alot about maroons being aggresive. but i got lucky i guess.
