Default how's this for a stock selection?

hey guys, i was just wondering what you thought about this selection in a 55-gallon with about 70 lbs of LR...

2 Clowns, true percula or ocellaris
5 reef chromis (i understand there's blue ones AND green ones, 2 diff species or something)
1 snowflake eel
1 bicolor or lawnmower blenny

that seems rather understocked for such a big aquarium, but since this is my first attempt at a SW aquarium, i want all of my fish to be somewhat peaceful towards each other... i'd like some "big fish" (which is sort of why i chose the snowflake eel), but the only fish i'd consider to be big get too big for my tank... it just seems like my selection is all too small... i guess reasonably, i'm looking for something around 8 inches... i thought about a dwarf lion, but it goes back to being peaceful... i don't want to lose all my other fish because its lunchtime... and then i thought about getting a small blue tang or something, and when it gets to a pretty hefty size, donate it to the LFS... i took my GF to the LFS yesterday, and she decided she wants a blue tang, a seahorse, and a cowfish... so if i can get these small, and then either donate them to the LFS or setup an adoption plan (free to a good home or whatever) would there be any problems? if i'm not mistaken, i know a seahorse would need its own personal tank, something about food... and i know a cowfish (as with any puffer) will release toxins that can wipe out an aquarium of killed or injured... but what do you guys think?
