Unless you know which species of lettuce slug (not nudibranch) you're adding and you have a large amount of the specific algae it feeds on, which is different for each species, you're dooming the animal. Also, 4 clowns in a 30 gal isn't likely to work in the long run. Once two of them mature they will harass and probably kill the other two.

Agree with what is posted above.
2 clowns and a mandarin are very likely toast. I would only consider a lettuce slug for a very large tank, as their diet is highly specialized.
