Can this stocking work in a 15-gallon reef? (Clownfish + Clown Goby + Purple Firefish + Fire Shrimp)
 
One clownfish or two? If one then yes I think it could work, but if 2 clownfish, I think they would start to get more aggressive later on when they start spawning. 4 fish in a 15 gallon is a bit tight and would need some luck to make it work. IMO

Three fish should work. If you are planning to have any LPS corals in the tank, I suggest no shrimps. They all steal food and bother the corals. If you have rockwork with cave, firefish may not be a good idea. They can be very shy and stay most of time hiding. Royal Gramma or Banggai Cardinalfish are better options in my opinion.

As @Mr. Mojo Rising stated, a single clownfish with the goby and firefish may work. If you're getting 2 clowns in hopes of pairing them, then only they should be in that tank, which is still on the smaller side depending on the clowns.
