want my opinion......ditch the yellow tail damsel. Those things are terrors and once they're in the tank, they're not coming out!!!!
other than that the list seems okay

If you have a fair amount of sand a sand sifting goby is always a cool addition.

I think youve already got some aggressive fish. youve got the room for the fish you have and they can all hold their own against the damsel. I think that fish is highly underrated because it can be a bully and it's cheap. I think you should pair up your clown. A goby or blenny would probably be ok, but you would have been better off adding less aggressive fish earlier on. I'd also consider a dwarf angel.

make sure youve got enough live rock to make the fish have places to feel comfortable or escape any aggression from the other fish. any fish added at this point arent going to be welcomed by any of those fish in my opinion. it might just be crazy enough to work.

thats man for the good solid advice. id love a dwarf angel but i feel my tank might just be a tad bit small.
the good thing about my tank is that theres caves in every inch of the tank. ill take ur advice and pair up the clown. would you know the best way of doing that?
my clown is a tiny one just incase thats a factor.
again i apreciate the help

Yellow gobies are great fish, peaceful perchers, that add a nice splash of yellow to the tank. I love mine.
