Lots of folks start off with a clown fish. You could also try a goby of some sort. With that deep sand bed I would HAVE to get a diamond goby! They would have a blast in all that sand.

My diamond goby has always been one of my favorite fish to watch! He is a real sand mover for sure.

I’m just worried it’ll knock over the rock also could I put one clownfish in there too

Yes you could put both in. Did you set the rock on the tank bottom, then add the sand, or is the rock on top of the sand?

Looks great!

As for stocking gobys and blennys is where I would look. Maybe a yellow watchman goby and pistol shrimp combo. You could then add a tailspot blenny.

Unfortunately, with 10 gallons, you won't be able to get a lot.

On the sand and I heard with really fine sand it’ll cloud up the water

I have fine sand and a diamond and my water never gets cloudy. The rock on top of the sand could be a problem though.

Looks good, just keep in mind that a lot of the fish in the hobby you won't be able to put in that tank. But a clown and a goby are totally fine.

If your rock is that unsteady, I would work towards fixing that, as neither of these fish should knock that over.
