Stocking Ideas

Hello,
In January, we gave our daughter a small saltwater aquarium (12 gallon). We have been very successful with the few fish and creatures. Currently, we have 1 blue damsel, 1 Percula clown, 1 hermit crab, 1 mushroom anenome, and a live rock. I've seen some systems with many more invertebrates in it. I don't think we can add any more fish. We were wondering if there are any good ideas of what to add to the system.
Thanks,
TF

You shouldn't add any more fish. How big is your LR? You should have 1 to 1 1/2 lbs of LR per gallon. You can add some shrimp, feather dusters, or a purple lobster, I have a lobster and he dosen't bother anything, although he does hide alot.

Apparently we don't have enough live rock. There is only one piece (looks like a donut). It is at most 1 lbs. My daughter really liked the purple lobster.
Is it possible to keep corals in this tank?
Thanks,
