I would go with a deeper sand bed and more Live rock. Microfauna is found in live rock and live sand.They are small inverts like copepods and amphipods. Some fish will eat them but should be fed in addition to that. Pink Tip Haitians are cool but if you want an anemone to host your clown I would go with a bubble tip or something else.

That an awful lot of bottom/rock dwellers. Remember they are small when you buy them, but hopefully will reach adult size! Your 55 is 4 foot X 1 foot and I'm afraid that's too crowded.
While on the subject, please read as much as you can on the gobys. I've been noticing a lot of posts that claim goby feeding issues.
Also, research that anemone choice. :notsure:
And 2 different species clowns with one anemone, you should ask the good folks in the clown/anemone forum.
