Can I keep these clowns together

After a devastating loss, my friend is getting out of the hobby. And he wants me to have anything my tank can hold. The only thing I could really take is a pair of Black Ocsilarious, and their annenomie. Problem is I have a Cinnamon Clown un-hosted. It's a 40G tank with only one other fish, can they live together or will they fight to the death. Let me know.

your cinnamon clown would go insane at having a pair of clowns show up in his territory.

IME, I think it might be ok. I think those clowns will stay with their anemone and the other clown might stay away. 50/50 chance...

40 gal tank, cinnamon clown already well established....
you can try.
It is possible.
But I would not recommend it.
The odds are overwhelmingly against peaceful coexistence.

You would be taking a big risk in a 40g. However, clowns are relatively easy to catch so if it did all kick off you could remove the clown/s you don't want to keep. I would try it.

Ok, I may try it it's just that there is no other home for them.
