Really looking to get my clownfish a pair, but worried about stocking levels.

So I currently have a 29 Gallon reef setup. I have a few LPS that have been thriving, and I don't want to compromise their growth. I currently have a black ocellaris, a yellow coris wrasse and a firefish. I was really interested in finding a companion for my clownfish (some kind of morph). I have a skimmer combined with a HOB filter, with 20% water changes every 10 days. Should I go for it? Push comes to shove, I'd be willing to donate the firefish.

Yes go for it, you're fine.

If the clownfish bond and establish an LPS as home (what many improperly call "hosting", they may compromise the LPS. Also, once a bonded pair, clownfish are aggressive and the firefish may suffer.

Hmm, my current clownfish just recently (past few days) took notice of my bubble tip. He kind of ignores it during the day but will sleep inside of it at night. He's still pretty small (2 inches tops), what do you think?
