Tailspot blenny! Firefish. Royal Gramma or the more expensive cousin blackcap basslet. If you feel like splurging a bit, a pair of pink streak wrasses or a possum wrasse would be great fun.
love your color choices, that tailspot blenny is beautiful and a royal gamma for sure ! Do you think a pair of clowns would do ok? i mean i like tomato clowns but i read they grow up to 5 inches, thats a massive clown lol

I wouldn't do a tomato clown in a 20g. Would probably just stick with a pair of $15 occelaris clowns! Designer clowns are plentiful, too. I don't know if there is a real correlation between designer clowns and aggression, but some say so.

Tailspot blenny packs in the most character per dollar, for sure. They are funny fish. A flame hawkfish is also pretty inexpensive and could be interesting with some care --> no small inverts like sexy shrimp or peppermints. Full size cleaner shrimp might be ok. And just hope for a peaceful one.

You can do a nice Caribbean set up. Get a bunch of rock flower anemones and photosynthetic gorgonians. You can put in neon gobies, masked gobies, and if you have a full cover, yellow head jawfish.
