Cinnamon Clownfish

So after the unfortunate death of my chalk basslet, I have learned a couple things:

1.) Acclimate Better
2.) Check Ammonia frequently

Now, my next move is to get 2 Cinnamon Clowns. What do you think? I have a cleaner shrimp, about an inch long, do Cinnamon Clowns eat Inverts? What do you think of my choice of fish?
 
No they won't eat inverts, but make sure you get a pair or else they will most likely fight and one could die. Pairing two clowns isn't easy to do for someone new to the hobby.

What made you decide on Cinnamons? There are other species of clowns that you might have more success with.

Acclimating fish in saltwater is much different than in freshwater, make sure you read up on it.

I would also wait a while before adding anything else. Get a few water changes in and let the tank settle in.
 
As tempting as it is to go get more fish, I would sit on that tank for another 3 weeks.
Focus on keeping your shrimp alive. Maybe get some Dragon's Breath and see if that grows and snag some cheap pulsing Xenia for fun.

Look at a few snails and other clean up crew critters if you just have to add something now.

In my opinion they are the best clowns that we have tried so far! I can't explain why I just love them!

Are they aggressive? I would love to get some but since I just read the statements above, I am kind of scared to try them.
 
When we bought them they were in the same tank at the LFS, the bigger one is a little aggressive to the smaller one, we don't know yet of its being a bully or just them pairing up. They def. do not harm each other its kind of like they are playing, they also have never picked on any other fish in our tank.
