Royal Grammas are awesome. I had one for like 5 years and he was one of the hardiest fish ever. I had to rehome him after several brutal beatings by my huge 4+ inch female maroon clownfish. I really dislike clownfish now, because when they pair up, they can get very aggressive. Even my B/W clownfish that is in my 10g alone with a yellow watchman goby is pretty mean. He killed my cleaner shrimp.

my firefish btw hides a lot in a certain spot he comes out eats and then goes back to his buisness in his hidy hole the gramma wont pick his spot and kick him out will it or the clownfish? and would mushrooms zooanthids and a green star polyp be good beginner corals and a skunk cleanershrimp good scavenger?

Yeah, Royal G can get aggressive too. Firefish are very peaceful and shy. I would suggest another peaceful fish like a Yellow Watchman goby and candy pistol shrimp combo. I agree with the sunk cleaner shrimp. Some dotty backs are very aggressive too if I'm not mistaken.
