When adding clownfish is it advisable to add just one, or would a pair be less aggressive?
I have ruled out the tomato and cinnamon clowns, but all clownfish are aggressive.
So I would like a scenario which lessens their chance of being aggressive to my other fish. I was thinking of getting one or two black ocellaris clowns, or saddle back clowns (don’t know if these are as aggressive as the tomato and cinnamon). What are your thoughts?

If you decide down the road that you want to keep a pair of clown, you are better to get a pair in the first place. If you add one now and another one later, the established one will likely beat the crap out of the new one. And a established pair will be more aggressive toward their tank mates than single ones.
Generally speaking, ocellaris or percula are the least aggressive clowns. And if you are into designer clowns, you will find most of them are either ocellaris or percula.

Perfect thanks! That is what I was wondering. Has anyone had experience with the following fish: Saddleback clownfish, Lubbocks fairy wrasse and the Yellow corris wrasse?

I've got a yellow canary wrasse and it is a model citizen. It is always searching around my tank for food and always gives my clams a good look over regularly.
