I think you're pretty stocked. I think it's 5 gallons per fish in a marine setting....maybe might want to wait until someone else puts in there opinion as well, but that was my understanding.
5.5g: Pond snails
5.5g: Red Cherry Shrimp and Rams
10g: PZ the Pee Wee (DP), Ghost shrimp, Otos x3
36g: Luau the F8, Zebra nerites x8, sometimes a herd of ghost shrimp for food
60g: Perches the starry blenny, 1 watchman goby Snaps the l.c. hermit, 2 emerald crabs, 1 red crab, 2 turbos, 7 asteas, 2 nerites, 2 clown gobies and 2 firefish gobies (upgrading to a 90 gallon reef)

RIP Yoshi, you are dearly missed <3

+1 to Goldy! I think your at your limits with the 10 gallon . Firefish require a min of 10 and A Watchman Goby need 30- 50 gal . If Your tank is running successful I wouldn't rock the boat ! But if you must , lol I would suggest a pistol shrimp with you Watchmen very cool to pairing with the too . But you have to make sure your rocks are very stable with the pistol shrimp digging holes they may move !

Id suggest none. Once those grow up your tank would be fully if not over stocked

I agree you will be pushing your luck if you add more.
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly
