Well, you've got the right mix of a small one and larger one.

Have the larger clownfish introduced into the tank if it isn't already.

Next, you will need to get some kind of container to put the smaller clownfish in when you try to introduce them into the tank. Something like a plastic bastket that they put strawberry's in, or an invert trap, or a guppy breeder container. The container must have holes in it for water to flow in and out of and to feed the clownfish, but not holes too big that the larger clownfish can fit into. It's not an issue if the smaller one can get in and out.

Next is the waiting game. The larger clownfish will try to attack the smaller one. This may last a few days, or could go on for weeks. If the attacking doesn't stop, you will have to give up and get rid of the smaller clownfish.

If the attacking stops for a day, try to let the smaller clownfish into the tank. Initially, the larger one will probably do a little attacking to show them who the boss is. If the larger one won't stop beating on the smaller, you will need to try to put the smaller one in the container and start all over.

This may or may not work out.
