Fish:
-1 pair of either oscellaris, black, or true percula clowns.
-1 hi fin banded goby
-1 neon goby.
Inverts:
-mixed LPS and softies, i may try my hand at some montipora frags placed high in the tank but mostly just LPS.
-10 blue leg hermits
-5 astrea snails
-1 fighting conch
-1 brittle star
-1 emerald crab/sally lightfoot
-1 true peppermint shrimp
-1 scarlet cleaner shrimp
-1 tiger pistol or sexy anemone shrimp (optional)
-maybe a condylactus anemone?????
Well? do i have it well planned out or do i need to go lighter? I can live without one of the gobies or both, the main stars are going to be the clown pair but id like to have the shrimp/goby symbiosis as well if possible.

Thats enough for a 30g!
I would chose two fish and either the peppermint or cleaner. I would also recommend exchanging 5 of your hermits for some Nassarius or other sand moving snail. The hermits are OK, but have little productive effect compared to the emerald or sally. Sallys can get pretty large, so you may want to steer clear of them in a 15g.
Brace yourself for some
nitrate issues. Do you have a
skimmer? You may want to plan ahead and set up a
refugium or have a chamber with Chaetomorpha. Don't skimp on the water changes.
Two cents,
