Some sort of maroon clown fish. If you are looking for the trade name, sorry no idea.

They are lightning maroon clowns but more extreme,

Yes, that would be my ID as well.

would they get along with my snowflake clownfish?

I believe snowflake clowns are occelaris. Maroons will not tolerate a different species of clown.

Don’t do it.

I would say no, but i do have a goldstripe, regular maroon n a paired mocha clowns in my 110g mix reef for three years n seems to be getting along so far. I also have three lightning maroon clowns in my 20g nuvo, once two are paired up one will be remove n be paired with the goldstripe maroon clown that i already have.

Unless you have a very large tank do not mix them.

Inter-species mix usually ends up badly unless tank is huge, there are exceptions, but rare.
