Ideal environment for False Percs?

I recently started up my first Nano (see sig for info) and I have decided to make 2 tank-bred Ocellaris Clowns the focus of the tank. I was just wondering what the ideal set-up is for a pair of Clowns? I already have LR/LS and a clean-up crew in. I am going to avoid getting an Anemone but will be getting some soft Corals - Toadstool Mushroom, Zoanthids, etc.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
 
We tried a green open brain for our two ocellaris but our Eibili Angel picked at it so we had to put it back in the other tank. :(
I think it really depends on the fish, some may not host anything. Ours have frogspawn and a good sized hairy mushroom and neither go in to them but in our other tank our maroon clown loves the frogspawn and hairy mushrooms since she is wild caught. I would also apprecite some feedback on what else to try with our Ocellaris because they seem kind of lost.
 
Tips on food is appreciated also...

Right now I plan on offering the following:

Formula One Flakes
Cyclop-eeze (frozen or freeze dried?)
Brine Shrimp Plus?
Ocean Nutrition Prime Reef?
Dried seaweed

formula one and two are both good feeds for clowns as well as prime reef and brine shrimp plus.

id go with the freeze dried cyclopeeze then you can use it to soak up any enrichers you want to use(selcon vita-chem, etc.)

throw in mysis, squid, clam and krill for some added variety.

ive never fed clowns dried seaweed i have seen them nibble at hair algea and gracilaria.
