Suggestions On Clowns

I would like to get a clown for my 55 gallon tank. I now only have two damsels. The tank has been up for 5 five years. I had a common Seabae Clown up until a few months ago. Something happened and killed it, my Coral Beauty and my Yellow Tang. I have no clue to what happened. All the water paremeters were okay: Nitrite, Nitrate, Ammonia was 0, PO was 0.05, PH was 8.2, KH was 12, Calcium was 500 and Salinity was 1.024. The current water parmeters are still the same. I got the two Damsels to see if they would survive without sinking a lot of money in fish. It has been over a month and the Damsels have been doing fine. I am ready to try another fish.
I want another clown but want something that would be happy without an anemoni since I do not have the lights to support one. I want something with more color than the yellow and brown Seabae Clown that I had before. My LFS has the true and false perculas, Tomato, Cinnimon, Saddleback and Skunk?. I would like to get more than one of the same species. I want one that is hardy and easy to care for like the Seabae that I had before.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I love my single maroon clown, he has decided to live in my polyps, and defends them like crazy. No need for an anenome, they will take up in your corals.

My favorite clowns by far are big tomato clowns. Skunks are also nice, but depending on what species, they may get bullied by the damsels. Bo
