Ya you could keep a clown fish, just research the type you want. A pair I don't know. you could keep a firefish also, clown goby or other small goby and maybe some blennies, not sure on those though.
Have fun

You would probably be ok with that list as long as you go with a smaller species of clown. I would get a pair of true percs and probably leave out the gramma/firefish and go with the clown gobys or maybe some sort of shrimp goby. Not that the gramma/firefish wouldnt be ok, your just flirting with maxing your bioload on that tank.
As far as corals go, this site sells corals and you need to be careful about posting for other sites that compete with this one. Good luck...

the coral banded shrimp might eat the sexy shrimp also. but i would get the cbs anyway because they have tons of personality. and the fish list sounds good but go with a smaller species of clown, becasue your pushing the bioload a bit

The coral banded shrimp will eat the sexy shrimp as ric maniac mentioned, but there is also a chance that it will eat small to medium fish. They are usually okay with fish, but they need to be watched. A skunk or fire cleaner shrimp would probably be a better choice and not a danger to your other inhabitants.
The bumble bee snails arn't a good choice as they are snail and sand bed infauna predators. They look cute, but will kill the snails and other critters that actually benefit your tank.
With the fish I'd try to lower it to 3 or 4 of those instead of all 5. A pair of Percula clowns and a firefish, would add plenty of color and movement to the tank.
The suggestion of adding a mandarin isn't a very good one in my opinion. They are notoriously hard to get feeding on anything aside from live pods and they will starve to death in a 24 gallon unless you are willing to commit to hatching baby brine every single day or culture/buy pods separately.

Make sure you use RO water and not tap water.
