However, if your female is severely opposed to having company in her tank after making attempts to acclimate the newer fish, you may want to consider returning your new purchase to avoid any further damage.. Good Luck with it..

Put the dominant clown in there and acclimate the new one and let him establish in the tank first. I've done this w/ my clown tang b/c he would not leave my new angel alone. I left him in for two days moved some of the landscaping around a little bit and he was just more glad to be out than anything. I wouldn't leave him in for more than 3 days tho. It's just an opinion that's the approach I take when a current resident doesn't like the new guy.
