Nano fish
I'm running a couple of biocubes: 14 & 29 gallon. Here are my recommendations for a peaceful tank.
1) I recently became a big fan of having a single flasher wrasse in each. They are not aggressive but will extend their fins and "flash" to other fish e.g. clowns, firefish etc. They add colour and beauty. 2) For gobies, I like the high fin black ray gobies and the other shrimp gobies paired with a colourful randall's shrimp (tiger striped get too big for the high fins). Neon gobies are also interesting but they will pull food out of the mouths of the corals even though their bellies are already full to bursting! 3) Firefish are always good but can be secretive; only coming out when food is present. 4) If you can provide the necessary food, dragonets are amazing in their swimming abilities; hovering vertically or upside down as they peck at the live rock.

I will echo some of the suggestions and add a couple of my own....
flasher wrasses are great little fish.....pod eating machines.....a bit of a flight risk so a top for the tank is recommended firefish are great little fish too ....can be secretive and can be out in the open, depends a lot on tank mates....severe flight risk grammas are great assessors are among my favs stongiobiops (yasha/ dracula) goby/ pistol pairs are cool.....flight risk and need sand jawfish are cool....flight risk and need sand as for as a small algae eating fish..... tailspot or bi-colour blenny......lawmowers and starry blennies are good, but may be borderline too big for your tank....all blennies are flight risks I would not recommend any dragonet/ scooter blenny for a tank that small .....UNLESS you are 100% certain it is eating a prepared food....also would not combine the dragonets with wrasses, too much competition for food.....I know someone will chime in and contradict what Im saying, but people being successful with these fish in smaller tanks are the exception not the rule.... I would also not recommend the hectors/ranifords gobies.....they are a very difficult fish to get eating a prepared food and more often then not end up starving out.... Damsels is evil....plain and simple.....
