Default Cimpatibility Ocelaris / Clarkii

Hi,

I am currently setting-up a 65gal tank, filtration through live rock, power filter and venturi skimmer. I read a billion threads and a couple of books but I am unable to find the answer to the following:
Would a pair of ocelaris and a pair of clarkii be able to cohabitate in the same tank, assuming I provide clearly defined aquascaping and 2 BTA?
The reason I'd like to have those 2 species is that I only want aquacultured species within my tank, and there are not a lot of them. And, of course I am not planning to add the fish right away, but I want to plan wisely and have a kind of a "match plan" ready for when I can ad the clown, in 6 months or so.
Also: in order to increase the chaces of hosting in the anemone(s), is it better to introduce the anemone first, or the clown?
I look forward to heraing from your expertise!

they might tolerate each other for a short time (1-2 yrs), but definitely no example of a spawning pair coming out of this combination 'yet'.

i think that combine is going to have fights but if you have a quarantine tank you could always try it and pull one out if they start fighting.

I've had that combination fight in a 6' long tank where the percs were pinned to a small corner of the tank so I wouldn't recommend that combination.
