wow.. I imagine your gut feeling is its to much or you wouldnt ask.. I would say go with that feeling
I cant say 100% sure that what you have is to much.. but to give you a example of what i have in 50 gallons is..
60) pounds live rock
40) live sand
3) turbo snails
3) red hermits
1) frogspawn
star polyps
1) clam
some zoos
1) 3" jawfish
1) 4" purple tang
1) Bright red scarlet cleaner shrimp
I feel like I am stocked on fish.. maybe one more if i find one thats super cool.. I dont think you can over stoke on coral tho.. unless you get to the point they are touching one another

Yeah, I may have gone overboard. I do have another tank (29g) setup with nothing in it but 20lbs of sand, maybe I should move some stuff?

WAYYYY overstocked, in my opinion.3 3-Stiped Damsels 1 1/2" will eventually kill off each other1 Blue Spotted Puffer 2" will eat any and all inverts1 Cleaner Wrasse 2" (on the way) do not live long in captivity
2 Clown Fish 2" should be just fine and hopefully pair up

1 Clown Trigger 2" will quickly outgrow tank and kill any and all tankmates

3 Domino Damsel 1 1/2" same as the 3 Stripes

1 Lawnmower Blenny 2" good addition

1 Lemonpeel Angel 3" good addition

1 Naso Tang 5" at 5", it's already too big for the tank

1 Powder Blue Tang 4" not the heartiest of fish and will also outgrow the tank

1 Royal Gramma 2" good addition

1 Snowflake Eel 6" (on the way) decent addition but it'll eat your inverts and possibly the small fish in the tank

Green Brittle star are predatory. They will eat your fish.
Too many starfishes for a tank. They need mature tanks at least 6 - 8 months.
Stick with 1 species of crab.
Wow ! I'm getting a headache with your list. Too much stuff for your tank.

That 29 gal would be a good place to put all the damsels in, nothing else cause the damsels will stress any of your other fish to death, or you can put the clowns and gramma in the 29 gal and leave the damsels in with the eel and puffer to eat
