Greetings! I'm relatively new to salt, I helped maintain a 75gal a few years back but other then that I'm new. I'm purchasing a fluval 13.5 and was thinking of having 2 clowns, 6 line wrasse, and rainford goby for fish. I plan on having corals along with some inverts such as a fire shrimp, brittle sea star, and snails. What do you guys think?
Compatibility?

Agreed, most would recommend clowns in nothing less than a 20 gallon tank.
That is also a small tank for that wrasse, I am not really into wrasses, but I am pretty sure they need a larger tank; 30 gallon plus. Keeping it fed may also be a challenge.
You might be fine at first, while the fish are small. However, once they start to mature, they will get territorial. At this point, the quality of living for the wrasse and the clowns will diminish.
That said, to play devils advocate, many people start small and find they need to upgrade after the first six months. So, if you find very small clowns and a very small wrasse, you might be alright for a short while...
