Will my ocellaris clown accept my BTA?

I have had an ocellaris clown for about 7 mths. now and i just purchased my bubble tip Anemone two weeks ago, how long if at all does it usually take for clowns to enter anemone? If not would it be ok to add another clown (maroon) into my tank? It is a 90 gallon with over 100 lbs. of live rock and a DSB.

I'd say no on mixing the clown species especially a maroon, sooner or later the maroon will kill the ocellaris. I have a 90 and I wouldn't add a maroon to my tank with my mated false percs, right now the female is laying eggs and I'm pretty sure someone would wind up dead in short order.
Yours could take to the BTA but it may take some time to get the idea and then get familier with it. But you have a good chance.
