You should be able to add one or two more small fish. Also u can have as many corals in the tank as u want. Just consider growth and chemical warfare in LPS

OKay so, if i add 2 more fish, does that mean no more inverts or snails/hermits? or are they not the same as having too many fish? cause i do wanna add a shrimp and some hermits

Every living thing contributes to your bio load. To be safe add only 1 small fish and the then the shrimp and Blue legs. The more Filtration the better to handle your bio load. Step by step and Never never rush-move real slow please. If your tank is under 1.5 months don't add anything for another 2 weeks at least

I'd look for a rock hopping fish, like a blenny. Your clowns will probably be more tolerant of it as they mature. I had a Lawnmower blenny in with mine in a 20g at one point, they did well with him, but harassed a goby/shrimp pair

The question is can your tank handle the bioload of the additional fish. If your nitrate is already rising then you have enough. If you can easily keep nitrate under 5ppm then go for it!
