Hey guys I have aa fluval 13.5 for 4 months. Everything has been going great, corals are growing and my fish are doing well. Right now the livestock is: 1 davinci clownfish, 1 neon blue goby, 1 green clown goby, 1 cleaner shrimp, 1 nassarius snail, 1 astrea snail, 3 hermit crabs, 2 bumble bee snails, 4 heads of frogspawn, 1 red montipora, 1 green zoa with about 13 heads, 1 duncan, 1 favia, a rock of gsp and a rock of xenia. My rock work has a lot of caves and hiding spots (my clown goby is the only fish that chills in there tbh). Could I get another fish? I was looking at royal gramma, hectors goby, or possum wrasse. I have pretty stable conditions and don't want to mess up the tank, I do plan on adding more corals in the future (prob just more zoas and hammers) and some macroalgae and/or mangroves later down the line.
 
You're actually fully stocked at this point as far as fish go. The recommended tank size for clownfish is 30 gallons, so at your size tank, your clown will eventually grow over time and become very territorial. They can/will kill other fish. Another thing to consider is, as your fish grow, so does the amount of waste they produce. Tank maintenance will be a top priority to keep your water pristine to avoid nuisance algae outbreak from built up detritus.
