Most clownfish leave other non-clownfish alone, but maroons are the bullies amongst clownfish so you never know. Each one can have different personalities so it can be tough to predict. I'd probably go with a 6-line wrasse and some other type of active fish to give the tank more movement.

It may be a good idea to get rid of the Maroon then, they grow large and are probably the biggest bully of all the clowns.

I would say make sure the fish you add is bigger that the maroon. A valentini puffer or blue spot puffer might go good. They don't get as large as other puffers.
