How big is the angel? 30G's is small for that species unless, right now, it's very small. Remember...fish are territorial and big fish eat little fish. Clownfish are relatively unaggressive salts. This fish is semi-aggressive and is larger than the other two. I am not sure how you will undo the aggression vs. gives those clowns plenty of space to hide.

Compatibility is an extremely important thing to consider when purchasing an addition for your tank. Even if the fish is considered non-aggressive, if you put them in small confines or with similar species, they may become aggressive. There isn't much room in a 30G tank, especially with a fish species that can be 'semi-aggressive'. The continued picking may stress out the clowns or even keep them from feeding. I would consider changing up. Other members may have some other input.
