I would agree with nicetry. I wouldnt put in any damsels thought JMO. They are nasty. But look cool though

I agree, no damsals. But anything goby I'd go with, of course I'm biased. Don't forget the variety you can get with inverts.

They're all relatively small. With decent filtration and live rock , it should be fine. I like to see tanks with several small fish as opposed to a few large ones pacing back and forth trying to stay out of each other's way.

Heres what I have in mine.
2 ocellaris clowns
1 sixline wrasse
1 snowflake eel
1 coral beauty
Coral beauties are beautiful (obviously!) but they need to be added after the tank is at least 6 months old. Sixline wrasses are fun and relatively small. Ocellaris clowns are hardy and fairlly hilarious to watch. Mine steal food from my eel right in front of his face, brave little buggers (hopefully that won't get them into trouble in the future).
Like everyone else has said, avoid damsels.
