Im not quite sure really if that makes sense. I love clowns so definitely some of those but unsure if I want designer or OG. I had two clowns, red hawkfish, a lemonpeel/halfback hybrid angelfish, flasher wrasse and a bicolor blenny in my last tank 20 years ago(feels weird saying that). Here is my short list. Obviously not doing all these. Just trying to narrow down. Going to add everything very slow. I think clowns will be the first addition and only (besides a CUC) for a while.
