Clowns are pushy by nature, and if centered in a nem can take care of themselves. Chromis function as 'dither fish', rushing madly about (only 1 per 50 gallon tank) to reassure the others there are no sharks. Alas, there is no tang that will work in a 30. You need toward a hundred gallons for the smallest: they're too big and too active. The canary blenny is good---in general, the blennies, gobies, dartfish (firefish et al) and small jawfish will do well for you, including maybe the royal gramma. Avoid angels if you want coral.
