I have a Allard Clown about 3" long in my 125 gal.(just got it Monday)

I have a Saddleback in a 20 gal that is around 2" and I have had for a little over 2 years.
I believe the Saddle to be the demise of a few fish in the past that shared its tank.
(firefish,Royal Gamma,Butterfly to name a few)
The 2 fish that have been able to co-exist with longevity have been a Red FlameHawk & a Lawnmower Blenny. Eventually the Lawnmower died,but I don't believe it to be murder. So the Hawk and Clown have been together for a good 8 months and all is well. I believe the addition of the Hawk may have calmed down the Clown a bit,but not sure as I never attempted to add other fish since.

Question:
I would like to move the Clown & Hawk in to the 125.
Would the 2 Clowns most likely be ok,or do you think this will be trouble?
Only other fish in the 125 are 5 Reef Chromis

Think there will be lots of trouble. Besides being different species, they are now both (( most likely )) females. Even 2 females of the same species would end poorly.
