I'd say you're probably close to it, by virtue of the tang and Foxface. I have full house too w 12, but only one "large" fish, a Tomini Tang. You have 11 fish w 2 larger ones.

Stock list:
1 Tomini Tang (king pin fish)
1 Leopard Wrasse
1 Solarensis Wrasse
1 Naoko Wrasse
1 Linespot Wrasse
1 Carpenters Wrasse
1 Neon Goby
1 Red Firefish
1 Midas Blenny
1 Royal Gramma
1 Naked Clown
1 Banggai Cardinal

I change out 10 gallons every 2 weeks, so it can be stocked but my fish also let me know they don't care for new neighbors. So I'm staying put... Maybe a small sandsifter but that's all.

Actually IMO you've already saturated the 65 by the third fish on your list. Foxface alone grow up to 10" and will eventually require you to update to at least 120 (same with Yellow tang, up to 8"). Tomato clowns has the potential to grow to size of an adult's palm and you have a pair. Damsels are super aggressive and territorial, and contrary to what people conceive them as a small fish in store, some can grow up to 8", though not your blue ones. So not only I would suggest no more addition, but it's probably a good idea to start thinking about that "upgrade" (the word my wife hates the most).

Yes, foxface and tang should be rehomed. And I think you'd still be pushing it. Good luck.

2 clown pairs in a 65g, not a good idea at all.

everyone says that, IMO they are doing great and the tomatos and ocellarius share the same anemone at night

Clowns will tolerate each other when they are young. Down the road, when one pair starts spawning, not so much.

everyone says it for a reason.
