You're quite limited for appropriate stock. www.nano-reef.com might be a good place to skim to see, lots of fusion 20's there.
When I had my fusion 20 running it was stocked with:
2x ocellaris clowns
1x golden yellow assessor
1x pinkstreak wrasse
1x tailspot blenny
The clowns long-term can create problems if they start being hosted, especially if they're mating. Other small nano appropriate fish can include:
Springer's damsel
Possum wrasse
Multitude of nano gobies (neon / red-head / greenbanded, shrimp goby, etc)

For reference, my two clowns are now in my 48" DT, and the anemone island they host in is basically off-limits to all other fish. a ~18" section of the tank will see anyone coming into it darted / pecked at. They are very aggressive since they started spawning a couple years ago, I wouldn't want them in the nano tank acting like that.

Agreed w @Kyl on the clown. I also have a Nuvo 20 with a purple firefish and a pink streaked wrasse. Wanted to get a yellow assessor but they are hard to come by, considered a Randell but want yellow or red color fish. Im most likely going with a yellow watchman and candy shrimp pair as the 3rd. My goal is 4 peaceful fish.

Can golden yellow assessor live in a 20gallon? I read in LA needs a 30 gallon.
I also was looking at purple firefish but hear their jumpers. I have the lid that came with the tank,but i feel the holes are big for the fire fish to fit.

I've found LA to be pretty hit or miss on tank guidelines, and mostly don't trust it. The assessor mostly hangs out under things, kind of a reclusive fish. In my DT I won't see it that often unless it's feeding time. They also get a very dull gold colouring, not a vibrant yellow if you're thinking of picking one up for that.
Firefish in these tanks, I feel the small volumes makes them want to jump a lot more than being in a larger tank. Not that it can't work, I had a firefish in my 20 for a while, but it eventually jumped once too many times when I had the lid off to do a water change.
