Default Suggestions for interesting small fish?

Has anyone seen any neat small fish or inverts around lately?

I've had to take the fish out of my 20 Gal reef and I want to do something sort of off beat with it. My intention before I needed to get the fish out right away was to get a nice group of something like cardinals or yellow tail blue damsels but I hadn't really thought that through. Now that it's upon me I don't think I can support a large enough group to make it interesting. I've got a good sized fuge and skimmer but there's just not enough territory for 6 or 7 damsels in the display. Same goes for something like a Royal Gramma I think.

I always wanted to do something like a pair of mandarins or scooter blennys in this tank but I don't think the fuge is up to providing enough food for them yet. Anyone have a line on some that are eating frozen for sure?

I can think of a bunch of rare stuff I'd like to try my hand at, Fridmani or flavivertex dottybacks, yasha gobies or maybe a fang blenny but those don't tend to come around very often and I just can't stand to see an empty tank in my house.

So any ideas?
