I always stock all at once on a new tank. Quarantine once, stress once. As a heads up with a tank that size you might see some aggression between the Hawk, Damsel, and Clowns.

Neither are bubble tips for most clowns

Ocellaris will nest in bubble tips pretty readily. There are better hosts but are not beginner suitable in my opinion. Bubble tips are about the easiest less invasive anemone I can think of.

That clown goby will be small. Like REALLY small. I would get a blenny that ears algae. Like a lawnmower.

Nothing wrong with adding all at once.

Instead of the Goby or Midas

True but I've never had clowns fail to host in a bubble tip. I have had them refuse condi

They aren’t but I have always hosted my ocellaris in bubble tips. Only issue I’ve had is with one pair of tank raised clowns that refuse to go in the BTA even as a third wild caught ocellaris hosts in one and the same tank.

Goby. But the midas may not get along with another blenny.

Someone with more experience may be able to chime in on that.

Those clown goby’s are small. Like a centimeter long. Mine disappeared in my tank never to be seen again.

There is a compatibility chart Here

Edit: I think you'll be fine with a bubble tip. Just keep in mind captive bred percs and ocellaris can be difficult to get to host. Mine always have but they can take longer. Not sure why. Larger species of clowns host almost instantly for me.

Yeah i have a pair of clowns and they don’t host the two huge nems in one of my nanos.

Can I place the nem on just the crushed coral sand

Mine took 5 or 6 nems, 2 years and every internet trick I could find.

Disregard

You can, but it will go where it wants anyway. Usually bubble tips anchor to under a rock and they reach up, forming kind of a "J"
