I currently have a 55gal tank and I have 2 clowns and a lionfish in the tank. What other fish should I get? I was also thinking about getting live coral or something, any suggestions?

The clowns are perculas, I don't know if they are false or true ones. We wanted to try anemones, but aren't sure how to go about doing it.

first make sure that ur selenity leavel is right in your fish tank second u can get live coral, live rock which if it is in good shape if u pay close attention will have feather dusters pop up on them and so on anenimies are excellent for ur tank also you can also get some coral banned shrimp some 3,4or5 star dammels and so on

Well,
I need More specifics to answer this one. What type of clowns? (Seabae, False Percs, True Percs, Maroon, Tomato...?)
What made you choose A Lion fish. Please understand that will seriously limit what else you put in that tank. And those clowns could wind up to be food if you are not careful. Hopefully you chose Seabae or Maroons here.
Also what filters and lighting are on this tank?
I know you might be looking for a quick answer but these details make all the difference from a ecological master piece to an ecological disaster

i would stop there as far as fish, lions produce a great deal of waste and a 55 is not a big tank in the grand scheme of things, maybe try macro algae, or anemones, hermit crabs an urchin?

lol fish as a companion to you or your other fish? I hope for your fish otherwise you're insane. I always liked silver dollars, and algae fish
Tiger sharks are good too albino catfish. Catfish are good to have. They are sensitive to electricity, so a few hours before an intense storm the catfish will all swim to the top. Catfish could also be used to detect earthquakes as well. I live in California and my parents had catfish and the day before the Northridge quake, all the catfish were swimming at the top, some even tried jumping out.
