Is my tank overstocked?

I have a 55gal fish only and well I did not actually stock this tank my mom did.

It has: Green Spotted Puffer X 1 still small only about 2 inches in length max is 6
Ocellaris Clown fish x 2 still small only about an inch in length
Golden sleeper head goby X1 fully grown already
Blue Devil Damselfish X 1 not sure if fully grown or what it's about an inch in length
Banggai Cardinal x 2

I do NOT plan to upgrade this tank anytime soon as it still needs basic equipment like lighting system. the fish are doing well just wanted to actually add one more creature to it possibly a starfish ( brittle star fish ) or maybe even a shrimp to go with the goby. just didn't want to overstock it. Ive tried checking the tank size recommendations on these fish from a sight but idk if they are even accurate.

UMMM...Golden headed sleeper gobies grow to be about 8 inches
The damsel may kill off the baby puffer, the two cardinals are for sure doomed to die. It came by it's name Blue Devil honestly.

Invertebrates don't really play a part as far as over stocking your tank. The real thing you need to watch is that they have enough to eat so that inverts dont starve.
