Pom Pom crabs are great and super easy to care for if you already have coral. I swear Pom Pom crabs were the first reef keepers. They will care for their anemones, and if they have only one they will frag it.

Others I know of are Christmas tree rocks, Skillet fish/fungia plate coral, Cosmic Nano Goby/ fungia, anemone crab/Maxi mini carpet or rock flower anemone, I could go on.
Clownfish end up hosting a number of coral, not just anemone. From Toadstool to Goni. I've had my clowns host my water heater lol. Probably why they are called clowns.
As for Goby/Shrimp pair. Make sure you have I think 3 inch of sand so they can burrow. You can also employ a trick I learned. Take a aquarium decoration that is hollow and open on the bottom. Bury half way in the sand. Your Goby will probably make a burrow into the decoration. At least mine did. I only used maybe 1 1/2 inch of sand. Neil(Goby) and Colt(Shrimp) loved it.

Thank you. Your name reminds me of one of the reasons I got into this hobby. It's never finished. If you keep up with your tank your coral can outlive you, and your great grandkids. As a colony can live for thousands of years.
Welcome back to the hobby! Happy to have you 
Welcome!
