Default 20 gallon lacking "wow factor"

Hey guys, anyone have some suggestions for fish for my 20g? I have one Ocellaris, and I would rather not have a pair. None of edmontons lfs have any tailspot blennies (which I love) I thought of doing a mandarin, (green spot not dragonet) but I dont think thats a bright Idea, it would be way to much work to keep.. I need Some Wow in my tank!

Not a great pic but this was my 25 gallon, we had 2 clowns, flame angel, bangaii cardinal. A lot of light and a ton of corals/ anemone it was actually a pretty cool tank.

Get a Yassa Hase or High fin red banded goby with a nice pistol shrimp... super cool!

I just have the Ocellaris, my tanks only 3 months old, so He was my "tester" fish, he's still alive after 7 weeks so I'm doing something right.. I'm thinking maybe a dotty back for some color

Yup, I would try reaquascaping and get away from the "rock wall" look. Maybe a couple of island. Then add a couple of colourful hardy corals, like bright green star polyps, some frogspawn/hammer/torch, maybe red open brain for the sand bed. I also use red macroalgaes in my tanks with no tangs to add a splash of colour (red halymenia & gracilaria) but these like regular dosing of iodine (Lugol's solution) to stay healthy I find.

Zoas, and many other corals need to have a happy spot then be left there to spread. Seven weeks is not much at all. Some grow like weeds and others in the same spot will melt away.

I reaquascaped it and I will post pictures in a bit. It's 2 islands one with a few caves in it the other is just a pile, I think I have room for a frogspawn or something of that nature now centered on the tank. Bit ill post some pictures so you guys can tell me what you think
