As the title says. What third fish can I put in this new currently cycling tank to go along with 2 clowns? The clowns will be from ORA. I’m thinking a watchman goby but I’m unsure if my sand is deep enough or there’s enough surface area. I’m open to all suggestions, even those who say just stick with 2 clowns. Thanks!

PS this is a 15 Gallon Hello Reef AIO Tank and its a FOWLR setup.

I’m so stupid I didn’t put any details about my tank lol. This is a 15 gallon aio tank. You still think one of those could work?

Probably not, a tailspot blenny would work! Little fish with a huge personality.
 
whats the hurry adding any more....tank looks brand new
Well with clowns in a nano tank, its best to add any other potential tank mates first, then add the two clowns. Im running a fleece roller so my tank should be able to handle it. Yes its a brand new tank Im still cycling but Im brainstorming stocking ideas.
 
Honestly, I would do a sand sifter. In nano tanks with potentially aggressive inhabitants (ie clownfish), a sand sifter or a fish that sticks to the rocks probably wouldnt be on their radar. You could maybe do a YHG + pistol shrimp combo, or a clown goby if you don't plan on keeping sps.
