Banded sleeper goby
Lawnmower blenny
Sabea clownfish
Majestic angelfish
Yellow watchman goby
Fuzzy dwarf lionfish
Blue sided fairy wrasse
Yellowfin flasher wrasse
Venustus angelfish

Would that be considered oversocking?

You're probably done with that list now. You should have a decent skimmer on that tank, and you may need to do more water changes, but if there's no aggression, you might be ok.

If you manage water quality well enough. Lions are piggy eaters, so again, water changes may be your friend :)

No, inch of fish per gallon is some left over rule from early fresh water days. As long as water quality is managed and you avoid stress from over crowding, there isn't really a rule. If you see fish fighting for space, you have too many or the wrong tank mates. If everyone gets along in their own little area, eat well, and don't hide from bullies, you're ok. Depending on tank style (reef, FO, etc) you want to be able to manage waste. If NO3 keeps climbing, even with water changes/skimming, you've got too much. If it's a fish only, it's easier. Reefs probably require greater control of water quality.
