Ok, so i am in the process of setting up my 35gal FOWLR tank and i have come to the point in time where i think about my stocking options. i definitely want a percula clown. I know they are territorial, but i would also like to put in some other fish that are peaceful and good tank mates with possibly some inverts such as shrimp or feather worms. If you have any suggestions please let me know. The tank is not set up yet, so my only limitations are size. Thanks

Lots of invedert options--I'd avoid coral banded shrimp and peppermint shrimp if you want worms. Decorator crabs or shrimp can be interesting, but not always firendly to feather dusters. Arrow head crabs also can be very aggressive to other inverts. But, that still leaves a huge list of acceptable critters--blood shrimp, cleaners, pistol shrimp are my favorites.
For fish--a pair of perculas, and one of the smaller angels. maybe? Anytime you have clowns, you want to have fish that are a bit on the aggressive side, even if they are reef safe--otherwise, the clowns may end up stressing the other fish and you'd never see them. An angel will stand up to the clowns without beating them up, and they are pretty, with interesting behavior. I'd look at the lemonpeel or flames, although my personal favorite for a smaller tank would be the pygmy. Stays smaller, bright colors, not as prone to being a picky eater.
