Hi! I'm new to the saltwater hobby and have some questions on appropriate stocking for a potential 20g tank my dad and I are planning on keeping together.
FISH - added gradually over a few weeks, in no particular order
We are also planning on keeping some soft corals such as Xenias, GSP, and zoas along with (potentially) some beginner-friendly LPS later on under a NiCrew 50w reef light or a Fluval Sea 20w nano light. I'm not sure which one would work better for a tank a maximum of 18 inches deep.
Thanks in advance!

- 2 ocellaris clowns
- 1 neon goby OR a firefish
- 2 cardinalfish
- Potentially a royal gramma? I would love input on if they are good in a smaller tank.
- 5 hermit crabs with 10 empty shells
- 3-5 astrea snails
- 1 skunk cleaner shrimp
- Potentially a brittle star? Again, not sure if they can be housed appropriately in this size tank.
