Jester goby is pretty cool.. I have a 6 gallon with yellow clown goby and black ray goby and some sexy shrimp... With red algae taking out nutrients in the tank to add color as well but just some ideas.

I have a Hector's Goby. A great little fish, but hides in the live rock unless it's hungry enough to search for dinner.
No fish. Unless you plan on doing water changes DAILY.
I have a red ruby goby and a tiny yellow corris wrasse in my pico, the wrasse really help with picking off flat worms.
No fish for a 3 gallon tank for long term sustainability.

Sure you can. Proper filtration and maintenance regime.
Which 98% people lack. My opinion is no to fish. Certainly yes to crabs and shrimp. Like the sexy shrimp. Certainly yes to corals.

I tried a Rainfords in my 5 gallon at work...make sure it is eating prepared foods before you put it in a small tank or it will starve to death quickly. I have a Blue neon goby and a firefish. I am considering a gold/yellow neon goby also or maybe a pearly jawfish.

You could also do a barnacle Blenny or 2....
1 small or 2 tiny fish are easily sustainable in a pico...with weekly water changes...
Just feed 3 or 4 pellets once or twice a day...

I do a 5-10% water change twice a week, I have some culerpa, GSP, 3 or 4 head Hammerhead and a little Xenia as well as a couple of snails and a red leg hermit crab. currently running a 50/50 T8 bulb. I would really like to get a 2 bulbe fixture and run a 50/50 and a actinic or a purple bulb for color.
