I would start with your cleaners. Wait a month or two then add a fish.
I wouldnt put any corals in there till at least the 5 or 6 month mark.
The manadrin needs a bigger tank with a really estabished pod population or supplemental feedings with live pods. There is a place that sells them but they are not cheap!
Just remember to add slowly. Espically in such a small tank. Water quality can swing really fast.
Im in the same boat. My cycle will be finished in a few weeks but I think Im gonna go crazy before that.

My 29 g is 2 months old now. Once my cycle was done, I added some snails and then my first fish was a Yellow Watchman Goby. Since then, I have added a Maroon Clownfish, a Lawnmower Blenny, Emerald Crab, Porcelain Crab, and Mushrooms.
I think Xenia would be fine, also consider green star polyps, they are very pretty and easy

How about a Royal Gramma? They're a nice, colorful fish that you may want to consider.
