First pair

I have a single false perc in my reef. I have never had a pair of clowns before today, I bought a pair of false percs for our 39 octogon, they appear healthy already acclimated and eating well. The small one has already picked an area in the LR and is guarding it, the only tankmate they have is a couple of snails, hermits and one small Molly Miller blenny that was wild caught from PC Beach, FL. Is there anything I can or need to do to ensure that they pair and spawn? I dont plan on adding any other fish except maybe a couple of firefish gobies I don't want to add anything that will disturb them or keep them from mating.
 
Here are some helpful hints to ensure they spawn

1. Feed them good quality foods
2. Do not change around their habitat as it will throw them off
3. Keep up the water quality
4. Patience, It can take up to a year plus for a new pair to start spawning
 
Firefish would make good tankmates with clownfish, but keep in mind that clowns can get pretty aggressive when spawning so they may not take to kindly to them. If you do get firefish make sure you top is sealed since they do jump.
 
The last firefish that I had I started to miss and eventually found him behind the tank he jumped through a hole I didn't think he could get through this tank is completely covered
