Almost 3 month old tank.

2 clowns
1 cleaner shrimp
2 electric blue hermits
1 micro bristle star fish
1 sand softing snail
1 trocus snail

What do I get next? Should I get more clean up crew? 15 gallon tank
 
More clean up crew would be good, you're about maxed on fish, depending on your rockwork etc.
 
more corals....
just enjoy the tank! It looks great

Thank you, What would you suggest on more clean up crew?

I’m going to get a Bennie soon then I’m pretty much maxed on fish. Just work on corals after that
 
live stock wise ur maxed out.
The two clowns once settled will make sure they are the king of tank, unless you throw in a fish which will get you jailed by the Tang/whatever Police.

Becareful with what coral you put in there, because of that cleaner in that small of a tank.
Cleaners have a nasty habbit of bugging the heck out of some corals once they realize they are nothing but treasure chests of goodies right after u spot fed one. This is why i gave up on cleaners. They honestly present more headaches then they are worth, especially since the "Cleaning" aspect of it should definitely not be the reason u bought one.

And no do not put in a blenny. I do not recommend any additional fish because again, i think you will be max'd out with those two clowns as you progress in that hobby.

Your clowns may look small now ,but the female will grow at least a good 2.5 to almost 3 inches long, which is already pushing the limits of your tank, but thankfully clowns don't require much space other then the spot they decide to host.
