Not likely... You can keep 2 per tank safely.. And that mean 2 different ones as well.
Once one transforms into a female (Larger one), anything over 2 and they will most likely fight and kill one another until there is only 2 left again.

till now, i've never read that it wouldnt work, and it has for me. at one point i had a pair of occellaris, a clark's, and a tomato in one tank. tried adding a pink skunk but the tomato beat it up.
1pair of Clarkiis,1pair of false perculas and 1 gold barred maroon clown. My friend has a 90 gallon with three different pairs of clownfish. A pair of Tomato's,a pair of Maroons,and a pair of False perculas.

id agree with that as well. A lot of fighting happens when theres not enough "home" space for all of them. 1 anemone and 3 different species of clowns may lead to a battle over the anemone, thus leading to stress, disease and even death. I would always only recommend getting a pair per tank or 1 type of clown per tank, because its easier to work with rather then possible fights breaking out. Just my thoughts though.
I'm gonna predict a "smackdown" in the near future.
But... If it works, then that will be a definite rarity.
