I have a 25 gallon Waterbox Peninsula, and I freaking LOVE IT!! I have 2 juvenile clowns, 1 nice Azure damselfish, and one baby Green Chromis. I know it might push it but do you all think I could add a Bangai Cardinal?? My water parameters are always perfect and I have lots of hiding places..

Your current fish will grow and take more space. Bangai cardinal should have been put first, as all the fish you have can be aggressive, so I would not do it. If you want more inhabitants, you could add a pretty shrimp or a crab, and it would give you more variety.
 
When those clowns mature they will claim the entire tank as their territory. The Azure is one of the more peaceful damsels.....but he is still a damsel. If you want to add another fish I would think about a shrimp/goby pair (Yasha's, Randal's, Yellow Watchman).
 
I've only kept bangaiis in much bigger tanks. I really like them. Based on their behavior, mostly hovering, they should be fine in a small tank. Bangaiis are more aggressive than someone might think when they mature.

My concern would just be that many fish in a 25, and I agree that clowns can take over a small tank when they mature and start to breed.
 
I would be careful adding more fish, especially for a 25. Clown fish can get aggressive and territorial once they mature and get older. Best of luck though!!!
