Heres my stock list 55 gallon saltwater maroon clownfish niger trigger dogface puffer yellow tang domino damsel four striped damsel 2 yellow tail damsels and a walking batfish.
Big no on the dogface and yellow tang....both need upwards of 90,100g tanks to be happy...dogfaces get very messy and very big and any tang needs a lot of swimming room, or it will become highly stressed. Damsels are more trouble than their worth IMO...they get nasty with each other, very territorial...and they are PITA to get them back out of a 55 in you put them in.

would a physcdelic goby work with a few clowns, trigger, and maybe some others?
It isn't recommended to house multiple species of clowns together, but if you could find a pair of one species, that would definitely work. Mandarins (psychedelic goby) need a pretty established tank to go into with lots of copepods to munch on, or they will more than likely starve to death. You might be able to get away with dosing the tank with something like TriggerPods at first but it's always iffy. I wouldn't go with any other trigger than a Niger, and I would only add the Niger last as they get very territorial with anything else you add afterwards.
You could probably do a nice dwarf angel (I love Flame Angels), maybe some smaller wrasses (6lines are pretty), gobies, etc. Valentini puffers, basslets, cardinals, hawkfish, etc all would work. Just keep in mind in a smaller space like a 55g, the trigger may spell trouble...some are mild mannered, others kill anything it can get it's mouth on.
