    +1. I would do the 1 clown and maybe a gobie/ pistol shrimp pair but not much else, concerning fish.

    My tank is a stable 20 gal, 1 yellow clown goby, 2 percula clowns, 1 sixline wrasse, 2 peppermint shrimp and 2 skunk cleaner shrimp. And a handful of red legged hermits. Not had a single problem, aside from a flatworm issue!

    be ready to take out those peppermints if they eat your coral. they also may kill your skunks. specially if they're bigger than them.

    The peppermints dont hastle anyone in the tank, they only really come out from behind the rockwork at night and i've recently passed on 5 hermits as they were disturbing the star polyps, but i'll keep an open mind about them peps.

    My 20L has a pair of ocelleris clowns, a yellow watchman goby, a red pistol shrimp, and a bunch of mixed snails. Also have some sps, lps, soft corals, chaeto algae, 30-40 mangrove seed pods, I only us a filter sock for filtration and I have great water levels and no problems
