You will be extremely limited in fish to keep. Really the only fish thats suitable are the neon cleaner gobies (the really tiny gobies) and thats it for fish

What about a chocolate chip starfish?

No those get too big. Astrena stars or micro brittle stars are really the only stars that can go in such a small tank

My last chocolate chip star was the size of my hand.

Agreed, fish in such a small tank is a bit tight. If you want some options, this link to another forum may give you some ideas:

I'd say, embrace some cool inverts here. In a small tank, tiny guys can be the star. Maybe take a look at some Rock Flower Anemones and Sexy Shrimp. I've suggested RFA's and Sexy Shrimp so many times recently, I'm thinking of doing it myself lol!

Good luck!

Emerald crab, as well as porcelain crabs and Pythos crabs might not be a bad choice

Oh ok! Thanks friends!

+1 for an invert tank or do a small coral mixed reef!

For a fish take a look at the transparent cave goby. I have one in my 15.
