That is going to be a crap shoot. Maroons are fairly aggressive and may not take to the other clowns. An anemone may help, although they can be a pain as well. Good fortune to you and let us know what you do.

More than likely, the maroon will chase the percs and keep them pinned to an area on the other end of the tank. Will they all survive - maybe, maybe not. Will the percs be more stressed - almost a definite yes. It's unfortunate, because, IMO, maroons are the nicest looking clowns.
