You could add them all at once in my opinion! Eventually you may have a problem with aggression portrayed by your Clowns when you add other fish down the road, but as far as adding the lsit you specified, it makes no difference initially!

As far as corals go it doesn't really matter what order you put them in. Just make sure your water params are in check, proper lighting is provided for and adequate water flow (depending on the coral) is present.

Fish, on the other hand, are a bit different. Compatability should be considered as well as adding the most territorial ones last.
