First inhabitants?
Once cycling has finished what recommendations are there for first inhabitants in my tank? 24g tank with 10kg of live rock, am going for reef rather than fish only. Thinking pair of clowns and cuc. What are other options? Do want a pistol shrimp and goby pair and a fire shrimp eventually.

Also thinking of a fuzzy dwarf lion, but think he might be on his own and could be quite boring to look at.

Back when I had a smaller tank, I had just a pair of clowns and a shrimp goby combo and it was awesome!! I loved having the shrimp goby relationship in my tank and I still have a pair in my 30 right now! It would be cool if you had them and a clown/anemone combo.

24g would be enough to handle a clown pair with a goby pistol combo.

I have a maxi mini anemone that's awesome but of course clowns wouldn't host it. I think things like Bubble tips are pretty simple once the tank is stable but it's good to introduce them early because even my 4" maxi mini anemone left a trail of destruction when it was finding a spot in the tank. Once they settle however, they rarely move which is really good. Better to ask people who know more about keeping other anemones though..

Thanks for the advice. Think I'll aim for pair of clowns with goby and shrimp pair. CUC and Mrs wants a fire shrimp. Think that coukd fit quite nicely and look good too.
