new plans for tank

[catz]

I am upset with my damsels and my clownfish. They are tearing up corals. I am thinking of taking them out, keeping my diamond goby; shrimp; snails; and cleaner crabs. But I know this is not going to be enough in the tank to keep it balanced. So..............
I was thinking of adding one each of these,
Pink and Blue Shrimpgoby,
Bumble Bee Shrimpgoby
Ringed Pipefish and a Aligator Pipefish.
Can these all stay in one tank? I have read that they are all calm; reef safe critters but will they get along with one another.
Has anyone ever had any of these or what is your experience with them?
_________
46 gallon Saltwater Bow Front:36" T5 HO AQUARIUM LIGHT T-5 REEF FISH LIGHT
Damsels: 2 stripe; 4 stripe; yellowtail; clownfish, Diamond goby assorted polyps and corals. I also have a 150g. cichlid tank.

I dont think you should add another goby to the tank your diamond goby and the other goby will end up fighting as for pipefish i dont know much about them but i dont think they would do good in your tank. Also how are your damsels and clownfish tearing up your corals? are they nipping at them? The damsels may do it but i wouldnt think of a clownfish doing this. Maybe the clownfish is just hosting the coral.

I do believe the clownfish is hosting the brain; it is always in the rim of it.
What they are doing is knocking all of them over. they nip at them, I have watched them totally push them over.
