They have that clown misidentified, it's actually an A. chrysopterus, aka blue-stripe clown, not a clarkii, but the same complex. It's out of stock anyway. Yes you can pair that with an A. clarkii, as long as you have them sexed correctly. Keep in mind A. chrysopterus are terrible shippers, and usually die of brook shortly after arrival.

Don't clownfish switch sexes tho. and would it be possible for them to cross breed?

Yes and yes, although, once female, always female.

Also, if said clown is left alone for a period of time(a month or more), it will become female.
