So far the skunks and ocellaris have been fine... They actually swim together in group of 4 sometimes.
We'll see in the future if it's ok. The man at the LFS said if I was going to put more than once species of clownfish in the tank the skunks would be the best pair to try.
That being said, I'm sure the gramma is still getting used to the new additions to the tank so I'll give it time.

I wouldn't worry too much, suspect that in a day or two thing will calm down.
As for the skunks and the O's, everyone seems to say that they are peaceful. IME, that changes very quickly when they start to spawn. Awhile ago I introduced a small Potter's angel to my tank, which had an existing Potter's. The existing Potter's didn't care at all, but the pink skunks on the other hand, chased/nipped at it for the first week --- all over the tank. After that they got better, but if the new guy even came close to their anemone, (( and the eggs )) they would go after them again.

Over the last few days the gramma has definitely calmed down...
The Skunks and O's swim in a group of 4 now, it's so cool to see. At night time they separate into pairs and find a cave. Just like clockwork.
It also seems that my Kole Tang is defending the skunks from the gramma. Whenever the skunks are around the Grammas side of the tank the Kole tang comes over and the Gramma seems to back off.
It's really cool to see.

They call me EC
I have a Royal Gramma in a 29 with a very mature pair of GSM's. Every once in a while, I will see behavior like the pic's you posted. They have not made contact with each other. I've mixed Royal Grammas and clowns countless times and never had a problem.
Awesome pic's by the way.
