Well if that is a twin spot coris wrasse (and I'm pretty sure Kien was right), a 36 isn't going to be the place for it. You'll want to sell it to someone who has a very large, likely FOWLR tank. Some people might say that a leopard wrasse (if that is what that is) is too big for a 36 as well, but you might be able to get away with it. The clowns will probably do fine in a 36 gallon tank, but if they're a mated pair, prepare for them to be extremely mean. I had a pair of cinnamon clowns in a 90 gallon tank once and as soon as they started spawning they 'claimed' 2 out of the 4 feet of length of the tank. They were ruthless and vicious, nothing, including my hand or my glass scraper was allowed within 24 inches of them. The female drew blood at least once every couple of weeks, and led to the carpet surfing of hundred and hundreds of dollars in wrasses. Tomatoes, cinnamons, and maroon clowns are notorious for that kind of behaviour.


And I personally wouldn't bother with that rock if I didn't have to. I'd let it dry out completely (like COMPLETELY), then I'd cook it in a dark tub for a few months, or I'd either bleach it or do the muriatic acid treatment to speed it up and get it back in to shape for eventually re-cycling it as problem free rock again.
