Question Will I overload?

I have a 12 Gallon JBJ Nano Cube with 20lbs ofsand and 15 gallons of live rock I took out the NC pump and added a rio 800 for more circulation ( I also split the water return so it gets water all through out the tank)

At this time I have:
1. 3 run of the mill hermit crabs
2. 1 Anenome crab
3. 3 Bumble Bee snails
4. 1 (tiny) Yellow clown goby
5. 1 Orange firefish (It is quite small compared to the other fire fish I have seen)

The tank is coming along great the coraline alge is bulding up nicely, I have yet to add any corals, however, I plan on doing so. (Zoos, xenias, pretty standard stuff)

If I were to add a:
Flasher Wrasse and a pair of true percula clowns would that be too much for the system?

Thanks for your help!

I am planning on doing WWC (Weekly Water Changes) Right now I only have the two gobies I was just curious to see what people thought about having 5 fish in a 12 gallon tank. I also read that a yellow clown goby does not count against bio load because they clean the sand? I dont remember where I read this, and its prob not true...Oh well thanks for the feedback!
