Stocking Suggestion for a 14g Biocube...

Hi, all. I have a 14g biocube that's been established for 2.5 years. I've had a pair of maroon clowns in there until a couple of weeks ago. They did well but the female is really big, so I moved the pair to my 75g with a bubbletip. They seem to be very happy. So, now, what do I put in the 14g? Any favorite suggestions?
And here are the maroons in their new home:

1) 2 Ocellaris clowns w/ a Clown Goby
2) Orange Spotted Filefish w/ Yasha Goby/Pistol Shrimp and TailSpot Blenny
3) Ocellaris clownfish and Yasha/Pistol and Tail Spot Blenny
4) ORA Fridmani Psuedochromi and SixLine wrasse
5) Blue Spotted Jawfish

Hi, all. There are no fish in there now; just some green stars, a couple of mushrooms, some macro algaes, and copepods and snails. It's just waiting for fish. A yellow goby would be cool and I love bangai cardinals. A small pair of clowns could be cool, too. Here's a picture. Sorry for the crappy picture. It looks better in person, but I just don't have a good camera.

Hello, everyone. Here's an update after cleaning the tank a bit more, putting in a chemi-pure packet, and getting two clowns.

Close up of the clowns - not a good picture.

An engineer goby in a 14G is not a good idea. Do you know how big they can get? IMO, most sand sifting fish in a nano are not a good idea. I've seen Engineer Gobies at like 9-10" long and moving rock work because they did up so much sand.
Ecooper, can you give us a close up of those different macro algaes (plants) you have in there, I have a feeling one is a bad one.

oh, I'll bet you're referring to what I think is Caulerpa. Yes, it's a nuisance, but it's started to die off. I think it happened because of the maroons. Really, that girl was big!
