40 gallons is what I would consider to be in the nano range so I think you'd be looking at smaller fish.
An ocellaris clown, a fairy/flasher wrasse, a watchman goby, and maybe a small group of cardinals would work well I think.
Of course, and obligatory cleaner shrimp or pistol shrimp if you get a watchman.
Try to find fish who have very small territories in the ocean and aren't very powerful of swimmers, and at the same time won't rely heavily on natural live foods supplied by your tank (i.e. pods). This can be a difficult balance to strike.
Checking out the nano tank forum for ideas wouldn't be a bad idea! Happy reefing!
