How's this for a 20g

For Christmas, I will be getting a 20g glass tank along with an Eclipse 2 Hood (plus powerheads, heaters, test kits, etc.). I will most likely have LR as well. Anyway, I have been considering what I would want in the aquarium and have come up with what I think is a nice combination:
- Two Percula Clownfish
- Chocolate Chip Sea Star
- Scarlet Leg Crab
- Possibly a Black Clown Goby (although some have said that this is one too many fish for my aquarium--please share any thoughts you may have concerning this)
I will definitely be getting the clownfish and CC, so everything else is subject to change.
Since Chocolate Chips are prone to eating sponges, all kinds of corals, snails, and other invertebrates, I am unsure of what else I could put in the tank, if anything at all. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks in advance =)

YOur good on the fish but as for inverts i would go with a linka or other reef safe star (if you plan on converting someday) and maby a 1/2 dozen smaller hermits like zebras or scarlets and dont forget snails get at least 10
lots of luck

I will up my hermit crab amount then =)
As for snails and the like, Chocolate Chips like to eat 'em. Someday I may have a reef tank, but it won't be for at least a few years. I think I'll stick with the CC. Thanks for your suggestions!

forget that last one I misread your post but you do need some glass dwelling algae eaters CC's are meat eaters and bottom dwellers mostly

People say their CCs are all over their tank and that they'll eat anything--even algae. I was thinking on a crab or two and a shrimp as my clean up crew. How's that sound?
