Question overload?

hi, i am very new to the forum (love it). i have 2 questions. AM I OVERLOADING MY TANK,

1 yellow tang, 1 snow flake eel (11 inches), 1 niger trigger, 1 small puffer, 5 damsel (difference kinds), 1 chromis, 1 coral banded shrimp, 1 brittle star and 6 hermit crabs.

Fish species are too vague "puffer" "damsels"

I'd say don't get any more, and have a very, very good skimmer.

IMO. the tank is overstocked. The tang and trigger, (possibly the puffer, depending on species) will not do well long term. If they are all small now, start looking for better homes. The eel might be okay but could be cramped as it grows.
The tank is better suited to small fish that don't require a lot of horizontal swimming room. Clowns, gobies, small wrasses, basslets, cardinals, etc..
What kind of lighting do you have now. Personally, I'd pass on the anemone until you have more experience, and even then, do a lot of research. THey can be difficult to keep, even in good conditions, and lighting is not the only important factor in maintaining them.
