Newbie with a 40g

A 40 is barely big enough for one, much less a pair or trio.

And a few different sites say 70+ is the minimum recommended tank size for flame angels. It seems you can get away with a smaller tank, but will have to put more effort into water quality.

Yeah I read about that too. I'm getting live rock soon that should give me time to pick what I really wanna do. I want something ideal but not difficult to do but the fish look really interesting and cool!

Could do a flame hawkfish in lieu of the lion. Similar perching behavior. Could also do a long nose hawk or a geometric hawk. Avoid larger hawks like arc eyes.

I was thinking
1 Flame angel
2 Clown
2 Yellow tail damsel
1 Green banded goby

I'd skip the damsels. That leaves you with an angel, the clowns, and a goby. That will be pushing the limits of the tank, IMO, but with regular maintenance, it should be ok. Stick with one of the smaller, hardy clowns--avoid maroons and tomatoes, they'll be too big as adults.

If the "love" rock works, let us know where you got it....

It says love rock because of the spell check on my phone. Hilarious though, you should be a comedian.
