Good call for now.

I would get a frogspawn over a torch. Torches have a nasty sting to other corals and can be difficult to keep alive. As for fish if you like the hawk look into a hi fin perchlet they are awesome. The wrasses can be pesky fish especially in smaller tanks as they have a mean streak. Also firefish are notorious jumpers (ask me how I know) but I think you have a top so should be good.

Picked up a nice torch this weekend from John at pop corals.
My clowns are not hosting it, is it something they take to right away or does it take some time. I move it to the spot they usually sleep but last night they just moved off to another part of the tank.

I have a pair of clowns that are making themselves comfortable in a purple and green hammer not too far from that i have a large nepthea. The larger of the two clowns was laying the the nepthea the other morning when i got up for work. Pretty cool looking color contrast. The clowns are b/w nepthea bright green

 

[nycfishy]

did they take to the hammer right away?

I should have added the hammer was in tank with them for at least 8 months, nepthea not as long maybe 3months give or take. But it's very close, maybe too close, to the hammer

 

[nycfishy]

so is it common for it to take a few months before clowns decide to host something?

Clowns will literally host whatever they want. Mine went from hosting a duncan colony to hosting my toadstool leather to now hosting my overflow box. Unfortunately it's hit or miss and there isn't much logic as to what they end up hosting (I also have a 2 head torch and a 9-10 head frogspawn).

Give it time and they'll host something or another, but not necessarily what you want!

I also have a clown goby who insists on perching in my monti cap but that's a story for another day...
