Re-Stocking Display Tank in Restaurant

[mlterp]

I was hoping I could get some advise on what to stock my tank with. I recently moved it from my home to my restaurant. Everyone loves looking at the fish!
Here are the tank stats:
30 gallon
40+ lbs live rock
Live Sand
300 Watt VHO lighting
Wet/dry with sump and protein skimmer
2 emerald crabs
sand sifting star
assorted snails and hermits
I currently have a Saddleback Clown, Long Tentacle Anemone, and a Arc-Eye Hawkfish.
I am probably giving all of this to my local pet store (Clown is mean, Anemone has grown too large, Hawk can stay or go)
Please help me re-stock this tank with fun fish for children and adults to enjoy and some easy corals that will work with the lighting I have.
Thanks!

If its a family restaurant, you would HAVE to have 2 percula/osc. clowns for the kids because of the NEMO craze. In a 30 gallon, I would get 2 and a cleaner shrimp (Jock). Good luck.

with that lighting you could keep just about anything IMO

Any specific stocking ideas????
Pleeeease......

if you dont want to overwork yourself next this display, get mushrooms, zoos, maybe few leathers, 2 percula clownfish and 2 firefish. can't think of anything else right now

Clown gobies are intresting little fish. I would go with 2 diffrent types and 2 percs. For corals whatever beginner corals you can get cheap (leathers, shrooms, zoos) and a few LPS (frogspawn, torch)

maybe a yellow fiji leather. they are very beautiful when opened up and add a ton of color to your tank

some unusual looking fish are good. they get more interest imo than the typical "nemos" and their ilk. some of the suggestions below are not compatible with what you have or other combos.
pajama cardinalfish
firefish
neon goby
royal gramma
neon dottyback
orchid dottyback
interesting looking inverts are also good for "tanks for the masses".
coral banded shrimp
blood shrimp
sexy shrimp
clams
bumblebee snails
sea slugs (may gross some people out tho)
starfish
scarlet hermits (you're going for colorful)
of course, there are other "advanced" choices and animals more suited for larger tanks. hth
