two clowns....yes.
watchman goby....yes. i would suggest getting pistol shrimp. the pistol shrimp will dig a burrow where they will live. interesting to watch, this is called a sembotic pair. I'm sure i miss spelled that.
royal gamma....yes
as for the mandarin, most will agree a nano is too small of a tank. They will also say that then need over 100 or 150 pounds of live rock. mostly they will only eat microfauna. and the tank should be at least a year old.
But, if a younger fish is bought you may be able to get it to eat prepared foods. but its highly unlikely that most people can do it.

get a cleaner shrimp. They don't hide all day like some other shrimp and they don't destroy anything. I have 2 in my 12g and i love them..
2 perc clowns
1 watchman goby
1 royal gramma
Sounds like a good list, just dont add everything at once. I would add the clowns together and after everything else has been added.

Looks like a decent cleanup crew.
