I have a pair of baby clownfish in a 55 gallon tank all to themselves with a bubble tip anemone and a couple more corals. They look kind of cramped so should I get them a bigger tank. Maybe 100 gallons? Is it necessary?
 
That is plenty big. Clownfish tend to stay in a relatively small area once they have an anemone.
 
In nature, Clownfish rarely move greater than a yard, your tank is perfect size, unless you are trying to justify an upgrade....then....it is vital.......so 120g would be the logical next....

Ok thank you, I did not want to upgrade it but if I needed to I would. Also, am I able to get any more fish for my 55 gal?
 
20 minimum for a pair of ocellaris or percula clowns. If they are something like a tomato or maroon clownfish though, 45 at minimum. Either way, your good enough as is.
