i was hoping to get the firefish first in hopes of him not hiding in the rock all the time.ill probably end up getting the clowns.

Normally you want to put fish in the tank from the least agressive to the most aggressive. You don't want the most aggressive in the tank first setting up their territory then chasing any new fish you put in. In this case I would add the firefish first and the clown pair a couple of weeks later.
Just my opinion.

Clownfish and Damsels and Chromis are the same family of fish. Ocellaris are of the more docile however each time I put my hand in my tank my black Ocellaris attach it. I mean the attack it and they do nip, it will freak you out the first time it happens.

A little wait to get what you want will only give your tank more time to settle in. Remember the patience thing.
Just sayin.........
