I currently have a pair of clowns in my 30 gal with LR and LS. I have some snails and hermits along with a cleaner shrimp. I do not have any corals yet, but want to get a few shrooms in a month or two. I had intended on getting a dwarf flame angel but i hear they tend to be coral nippers. I do not have my heart on them, so I any suggestions for 1 or two more fish would be great. I am looking for practical yet good looking fish that will do well in my tank setup. Thanks!
 
Flame angels are actually polyp nippers more so than coral nippers. LPS and SPS are the main targets. Shroom and most other leather type corals should not really be bothered by the dwarf. If your plan is mainly along those lines, then the flame would be fine. Just be aware that it would be the last fish for the tank.

Depending on the species of clowns, you could also look into gobies, blennies, and possibley a cardinal.

Cheers
Steve
