Would it be possible to keep a pair of seahorses with a pair of clownfish? Also, is it possible to keep two types of clownfish, say a pair of ocellaris and a pair of maroon or a pair of percs with a pair of skunks?
Seahorses

I wouldn't do it. My perc. clown will steal food (shrimp) out of my yellow tangs mouth, and seahorses have enough trouble feeding to begin with.
No. Seahorses are pretty delicate and are shy eaters, and clowns are agressive eaters.
Seahorses should generally only be kept with other seahorses or pipefish.

How about the two types of clownfish, I've heard it can be tough, but with a big enough tank is it possible?
I always thought it was bad to keep two different species of clowns together. If you do, IMHO, don't do it with skunk clowns because they are shy.
Also, to get a pair of maroons, you have to introduce a juvenile clown to a large female. The process is described in much more detail in Joyce Wilkerson's book Clownfish.
