I'm looking for advice on the fish and inverts I plan on keeping. Stuff like, Are the compatable? Hardy? Easy to keep? Any advice is appreciated! For my fish I want 3x Occellaris Clowns (Of course!), a Yellow Tang, 2x Green Chromis and possibly a Lawnmower Blenny (depending on my algae situation!). And for my inverts I want 1 or 2 Emerald Crabs, a Sally Lightfoot, a Fire Shrimp and 2 Feather Dusters. Like I said any advice/personal expirence is appreciated!

You are okay on your count of fish, just not your choices.
Best to go with 2 clowns, otherwise one ends up a third-wheel, which usually isn't healthy for it.
Chromis are kind of boring. You've got a big enough tank to have some choices, that wouldn't be mine.
Oh, and a 55 is too small for a Tang. Not a lot of swimming room in there. A dwarf angel would be fine though.

For inverts I suggest some Emerald crabs. I love these guys. When I throw in a little brine they run and jump off the rocks. It's great seeing how they eat too.
Snails clean better than hermits, but I find them boring. I suggest hermits for a more interesting choice.
I also have seen a florida sea hare and that was one cool creature. Don't know how well he cleans up but he would be really cool addition.
For fish I agree with 2 or 4 clowns. A tang should not be put in that tank unless you can trade it in when it grows up (which in my opinion is pointless).
I personally would look into maybe getting an Eel, but I dunno bout compatibility.
