I’m new to reefing, I’ve had my 20 gallon fish tank for a couple months now. I want to add more things to it but I don’t know what I can put in there. Any help?

Xenia, shrooms, star polyps, leather, zoanthids, emerald crab, fire shrimp, cleaner shrimp....keep it simple and add slowly..

Much appreciated, I’ll look into it

No problem...there are lots of small coral and critters you can add...

I see you have a goby, if it’s a type that pairs well maybe get it a pistol shrimp buddy? I’d recommend some cool inverts like conch, cleaner shrimp, blue leg hermit crabs, etc. they don’t affect the bioload as much as a fish, and they add a lot of life to the tank!

Thank you, I’m thinking of getting a cleaner shrimp, but won’t the fish pic on it? That’s my only concern ?

You’ve got plenty of hidey holes in the rocks, they’ll be fine! In fact the shrimp will go out of their way to clean the fish with enough time. I recently added one and I have 2 clowns, they were defensive before but now they’re getting cautiously curious about the skunk. Give it time, they should be fine 👍 I cant speak on the damsels I don’t have them but the clowns should be a-ok

look into gobies most stay small and are not aggressive
