Just introduced him and the clowns keep attacking him specifically the female male just harmlessly tail whips him but the female nips him and she keeps looking for the goby how do I stop this aggression? Do I have to get rid of the goby? :(

clowns can get very territory particularly as they get larger and during breeding. I would revoke one of them

With a 15g tank you may have a problem keeping anything but the clowns. They are territorial and the tank is about as small as they should be kept in. Mine own half of my 90g.
