Percula and Maroon Clown

I just purchased a percula and a maroon clown from my LFS. I also purchased a BTA for my 30g tank. I also have a coral beauty as well. The percula started this morning "hosting" the BTA. I came back a little later to find that the larger maroon has taken over the BTA. The smaller percula just sits by and waits for the maroon to leave the BTA and then trys to get nexts to it. I called my LFS to ask them if I should get another BTA for the percula (hopefully) since she looks lonely. They told me that would be fine, but that the maroon might want both BTA. Is there a way I can ensure that the maroon will leave them alone since she just started hosting the current BTA this morning?
Is this a good idea at all anyway?
Thank you for your advice.
Mike

maroons can be aggressive and seems like yours is the dominant of the two. he will try to have both considering you never know where the anemone will settle. 30g might be to small for a 2 anemones. i personally wouldnt do it. i wouldnt mix clowns either, doesnt work out well most of the time. i prefer maroons over the others, you may have to send one back or start a new tank
