I have a 20 gallon SW setup with one clownfish and alot of live rock.
What other fish can I have in there? I have heard that damsels can be nasty. What are some options for me?
 
Just thought I would add this tank was setup at a friends house for 6 years before she gave the whole setup to me. It has been setup at my house for 6 months or more. When I first got the tank it had the clownfish and a coral banded shrimp in it. When we moved the tank to my house one of the rocks fell and smashed the shrimp. Since then the clownfish has been the only one in the tank and it looks so bare. I need to get something else for the tank. My lfs does not have the brightest employees so I got no answers from them.
Thanks!!!
 
I like arrow crabs.:popcorn:
That would look cool. They get pretty decent size.
 
How about a Coral Beauty Angelfish? They are awesome!
 
Alright, I will check into those today after work. Thanks!!!
 
coral beauty will work. small hawkfish. some inverts maybe. what kind of clown is it. id be careful about adding another just because ive had a bad experience with it. when i added another cinnamon for mine, they paired up, killed all my other guys, and then one killed the other :-/
 
It is a false Percula Clown. I think I will check into getting an angel to go with him.
 
Yeah I like the chocolate chip starfish. When I was at the lfs they told me that a lawnmower blenny would try and kill the clown? Sounded a little funny to me, but they are the professionals, right???? So, I thought I could get some very useful information from the members here. I would listen to your opinions more than I would the lfs here in my town.

Would the blenny help clean up some algae also?
