just make sure ,what ever fish you get dont fit in the lions mouth.the clown needs to be big.racoon butterfly is a nice easy care fish and will keep the alge at bay.

if you were to get a clown, IMO I would get two clowns, they like having others in the tank. And just make sure they are big enough so that the lion can't eat them or think he can eat them, because he will try if he thinks he can.

the puffer and the lionfish will be enough bioload for a 60 I believe maybe 1 other fish
and cleaner wrasse are parisitivores and 90% die in the home aquarium
hope I helped
if it were me I would add the maroon clown but eventually the other 2 would have to be traded in for smaller.no wait get a bigger tank as they grow

Maroon Clowns do not like having other clowns in the tank. Unless a huge tank only 1 Maroon, they will kill other Clowns.
I think it is an excellent list other than the Cleaner Wrasse, this fish would die of starvation within a few weeks. Cleaner Wrasses service hundreds of fish on the reef, they do not adapt to prepared foods very often. I would go Coral Beauty, as it is hardier than the BiColor. And I would go Maroon as the Lion would eat a smaller Clown. I certainly think you would not be overstocked with those 4 fish in a 60. Just keep up with your water changes.

If you can find a large enough pair I would get the black clowns...they are some beautiful fish.
