Hello, i’m newer to saltwater aquariums, i have a few questions. My tank is a 36 bowfront, right now it has 2 clownfish, midas blenny, 2 peppermint shrimp, 6 blue legged hermits, and some snails. I also have some gsp,xenia, kenya tree and a few zoas. How many more fish could i add, can i also add a cleaner shrimp already having 2 peppermints? Tia.

Welcome to R2R! Saying how many fish you can add is not really possible as it depends not only on the size of the fish but also their habits and disposition. That said, you can probably add two or three more smallish fish safely. Also cleaner shrimp are usually left alone by everyone you've mentioned so it should be no problem.
