Tank looks full
Maybe a coral like a mushroom

Maybe so. I think I have room for 1 more though.

Agreed that bio-load you're fairly maxed out, if you're still thinking you can put another one, a Pajama cardinal is peaceful, but the Gramma may kick the snot out of him.

I agree you are full on stocking for a tank that size. I would get more coral or more cuc.

You're full at a clownfish pair in a 22 gal. Very possible that once that pair matures, they claim the whole tank, especially if laying eggs.

exactly. 20 gallons doesn't leave a whole lot of room should one fish decide it doesn't like its roomates anymore.
start planning your 40gallon upgrade instead of adding fish.

Sometimes that last fish sends the Dominos falling.
If everything is happy, I’d just leave that.

Got it, thanks for the advice
