ok so my list now is:
one black and white perc
one orenge and white perc
one coral b OR one bicolor? bicolor to big?
one velvet wrass?
Orchid Dottyback
Be very careful with the wrasse that you get. A velvet multicolor wrasse needs a 90 gallon tank, where as a velvet fairy wrasse needs a 50.

sorry I forgot to mention clowns... and how would a clam cloud up the water? Did you have a clam in the tank before?

everythings good with your list besides one major problem: 3 different species of clowns... no matter how big a tank is, there can be only 1 species of clownfish... or else the will all fight..

You were going to get a black and white Percula and an orange Percula, right? If so, you can add them to the tank together since they are the same species with different color variations. When you get them, add them at the same time and make sure one is noticeably smaller than the other.
I'm not sure about the stems.

yes gemmy is right, but make sure that one is a LOT smaller than the other...
the colorations and growths on your rock are all good from what you described them as, just different algaes and hitchhikers...
