Is two clown fish, one blue damsel, and a Gobi too much for a 15 gallon reef aquarium?

I wouldn't say its too much, just watch for aggression and make sure you have enough rockwork for each fish to have it's own territory. Also introduce them Goby ->Damsel-> Clownfish.

What do you mean by I introduce, it’s only a lagoon style tank as well

Skip the damsels (clowns included) and you have a bit more latitude.

So you think no damsel and I can do 2 clowns?

 

[jabberwock]

Nope. Clowns may be okay in they start small, but they will get bigger and run out of real estate quickly.

I have a 12 gallon fuval starter for 5 years the clowns are in and grew into and they seem to be fine. Is it bc the tank is more shallow?

So why are you asking the question then? Do what you want. Let us know how it goes.

Ohh, I’m asking because the tank Styles are different. One’s a lagoon (new one) old ones standard

15 gallons is 15 gallons, I don't care if it is a cylinder, bowfront, lagoon, tube or gas can...

I mean add the goby wait a bit, add the damsel wait a bit and then finally add the clowns. You don't want to add all of the fish right away as I'm assuming this is a new tank, they should be introduced gradually.
