Maroon Clownfish are very territorial. Tangs are very tempermental, so those two alone in the 29g may be asking for trouble. Both the Lawnmower Blenny (55g) and Scopas Tang (75g) call for larger tanks according to Scott W. Michael's pocket guide. Also, with these two fish feeding on filamtentous microalgae, there may be some aggression.
The other factor besides territory and food availability, is whether or not the filtration of your system is adequate, ie: lbs of liverock, protein skimmer, feeding habits, waterchanges, etc.
Just some ideas.
