I would recommend dragon-face pipefish or bluestripe pipefish.

I'd be worried about the clowns and possibly most of the other fish in there being too aggressive for them.

dragon face, they love to "snake" around the LR hunting for pods

I got a mated pair in my 240ga reef, with 50 other fish and they get along well
