When you add clowns you must do it all together. It is possible of keeping more than one pair, but if you don't add them together like in your case, they will make the whole tank their territory.
Think of it like this, if you give your clowns an anemone they will make it their home per say, they are not going to allow any other clowns into their home. Only the female will stay in the home and occasionally will allow the male to take a nap on there. Well once they have become comfortable with the tank, they will make the whole tank their "anemone" which they do not want to have no other clown around.
From experience of watching clowns kill clowns, to save money and play it safe just add em together.
I have tried a concept in FRESHWATER that works with cichlids, which are too territorial is to go in one day and move some rock work around which makes a whole new territory. & also adding the new fish at this time with the lights off, But this is saltwater, I understand people have aquascapes and corals that probably shouldn't be moved. Just an idea.
Good Luck
