Looks great 
Only thing you will want to watch is the clowns. Normally you dont wanna even try to mix clowns but you MAY be ok since they're both ocellaris...just different color morphs. But if you start seeing aggression, i'd remove one.

Very nice. Like the aquascaping and coral choices so far.

ditto. looks great. One note on the xenia. It will grow like a weed, then you may not love it so much. It grows up toward light, so if you put it higher now, makes it easier later so it doesn't overgrow your rock or other corals..
Also--I don't see any cleaners. If you don't yet have any, you may want to think about adding snails such as cerith and astrea and nassarius; maybe a shrimp (if you get nuisance aptaisia anenome, then pepp shrimp). There are different inverts you can add if you get different types of problem algaes, etc... However, i like an active cleaning crew with nassarius in my nanos to help me keep the sandbed clean.

Looks good, second the cleaning crew comment.
As for mixing clowns I think its okay. I have the same set up with one orange and one b/w and they fought pretty hard until the b/w won. Fight lasted about 48 hours and now they are fine with each other. I really like having two different clowns :rollface:

conch would be horrible for a tank this small. It would strip the sand of life in no time and die. The only one i'd even consider is a fighting conch but even those wouldnt be the greatest in a small tank.
