I wanted to ask if those fish would thrive together in a 50 gallon reef (my first ever)
1. A pair of Ocellaris clowns, maybe I will add a quadricolor anemone when the tank gets really stable
2. Neon/fire Goby
3. Watchman goby
4. Bicolor blenny
5.Yellow tailed damsel
6. 6line wrasse maybe (?)
7. Lysmata debelius shrimp
CUC would be (I'll probably add more later):
8. Cleaner Shrimp
9. 3 Astarea snails
10. 3 nassarius snails
11. 3 blue legged hermits
12. 2 scarlet hermits
13. Tuxedo urchin maybe
14. Emerald Crab (for the crab itself really)
 
It should work. I would replace the 6 line with a flasher wrasse.
 
Not overstocked at all, in fact still have space for another small fish or two.

The list looks good to me, I've never had luck with a damsel in a community tank though, they always turned out to be bully's., thats just my experience though, good luck
 
And what would you recommend, if the tank weren't 50 but 30 gallon?

a springeri damsel is a pretty chill damsel i have one and its very underated fish. I have mine in a 40 with a starcki damsel, spotted mandarin, ruby red dragonette, tail spot bleeny,purple firefish,red firefish,springeri Damsel, citron goby
