Fish for new 20g tank


I was wondering if these things would be too much for the tank that I have. I set it up on August 13th and I used some cured live rock and it seems to be doing really good. Here's what I want to add:

2 Ocellaris Clownfish
1 Yellow-Tail Damsel
1 Firefish
1 Royal Gramma
1 Bicolor Blenny
2 Skunk Cleaner Shrimp
3-4 Emerald Crabs
10 Blue-Legged Hermit Crabs
1 White Sand-Sifting Star

Is this good or will the tank be too over stocked? Please help!

That list is okay but IMO I wouldn't add the damsel.

I would say the clowns and the blenny would be my choice. I'd also pass on the sand sifting star it will most likely starve in a nano
I'd say 3 fish is the max for a 20g

Hi and welcome to the TRT. I have a 20 gal long nano reef.

Right now i have .......

one 1.5" to 2" maroon clown,
one 2.5" to 3" lawnmower blenny,
one 2" bi-color blenny,
one long tentical anemone,
one urchin,
one 1.5" sea hare,
6 or 7 nerite snails,
5 nassorus snails,
one turbo snail.

I used to have two medium sides sandsifting stars but one looked as if he got a bite taken out of him and never recovered and the other died when i took down the 20 gal to drill it and he never made it back into the 20 gal.

I am looking into gett some kind of shrimp soon. don't know what kind though.
