Yet another fish question

Anyone have luck keeping multiple Royal Grammas? I've been doing some reading, and apparently if you can come across one larger fish and 2 or 3 smaller juveniles, you have a good chance of developing a mated pair that will build nests and spawn in captivity.

Any thoughts?

Tank Info:


90 gallon AGA
20 gallon sump w/refugium
110 + lbs LR
Shallow sand bed (less than 2 inches)
1 x Scopas Tang
1 x Bi-Color Angel
2 x Tomato Clowns (appear to be a mated pair, when I had my anemone (before they loved it to death) they BOTH hosted it)
1 x Cleaner Shrimp
1 x Filamented Fairy WRasse (maybe, he's been hiding ALOT lately)
1 x Sally Lightfoot Crab
1 x Emerald Crab
Multiple snails
"The Hermit Hit Squad" - Consisting of 1x large redlegged "boss" and 3 blue legged "lackies", wanted in 9 states for the senseless of murder of innocent snails.
 
I've tried it a couple of times and still only have one. :(

I think if I was to ever try it again I would purchase a mated pair or else get a lfs to hold them for me a week in the same tank. If they make it a week in a 20g you have a really good chance of success.
