Keeping a salt water tank can be very difficult if you have never done it before and the smaller the tank the harder it is, if you don't even know what types of fish can live in a 10-15 gallon then I think you should do more research before you get the fish and kill them.

In a 10-15 gallon aquarium 3 fish is going to be about the maximum you can put in. If you want clownfish, I would suggest tank raised Ocellaris Perculas... they are very peaceful fish.... If you choose to get clownfish, though, limit yourself to two of them. If you buy three, you run the risk of the fish fighting between themselves for position. If you get two that are fairly young, they will almost certainly both be males. Eventually one of them will morph into a female and out grow the other, but it will be a peaceful transition. Other fish I would suggest in an aquarium that size would be a Firefish (that's the common name)... This is a very pretty fish with yellow, white, pink and orange. You can only keep one of these in an aquarium that size, but it will get along with clownfish. You could also consider blue green chromis, but they are a schooling fish, and may not fare as well in small numbers.
I'd like to caution you about keeping a saltwater tank this size. It's incredibly difficult to maintain the chemicals properly in a small tank, and changes in chemical levels and salt can affect fish very quickly. If you are just beginning in the saltwater hobby, you may do better with a slightly larger tank with a minimum of 20 gallons.

You cannot have 3 fish in a 10-15 gallon tank. It is just not enough room for these sensitive fish.
I would only put 1 occelaris clown and a shrimp in a tank that size (that is how my 10g set up was when i had it).
Also if this is your first tank, i would not suggest starting with one so small.

15 gallons will probably be fine, 10 will not, I had 3 in my 12 gallon... with a lot of coral. But only 2 have lived, thats saying it is too much.
