hi, im a new marine tank enthusiast. We have a small tank with a clown and a
blenny. (in about 60 litre tank, i think it is anyway)
Im very happy with it, however i would like to know if i can put a sea horse
in with them.

What kind of clown? What kind of blenny?

If you have a peaceful clown (like an ocellaris), and a bottom-dwelling
peaceful blenny, then there's a small chance it would work. Most likely
even then the seahorse would have a hard time getting enough food, as the
faster fish eat it all first.

If you have an aggressive clown (like a maroon) and blenny, then no.

Or do i need a bigger tank maybe

No, not at all. Seahorses are among the best fish in the world for tiny
tanks. They do fine in hardly any room. Great for nano tanks, for example.

or are sea horse not good with other species.

That's more like it. Seahorses are extremely slow and peaceful, so any
aggressive fish is a bad tankmate. And they eat very slowly too, so pretty
much any fish will be too fast for them and they'll starve.

But every once in awhile you can pair seahorse(s) with a few peaceful fish.
If you're very careful that the seahorses get enough food.
