Big Fish in 20 gallon Tank

I want a pretty good sized fish that i can hand feed or something that is really cool. Any ideas of big fish? Max would prolly be 6 inches maybe but thats pushing it. I know some of you will say you can't but just give me ur best fish options, don't tell me I cant lol. Thanks for the Help

A Valentino puffer is might be nice. Not really reef safe, but don't know what kind of tank you want. If you really want bigger fish you are going to need a bigger tank. No way around it. Clowns will eat out of your hand some times as will most bold fish.

One of the smaller species of Lionfish or Angler Fish could work in a 20, as neither require a lot of swimming room. I don't know about literally hand feeding them, but the can be easily fed with a feeding rod or tongs.

Either fish can be done in a full reef as well, as long as you stick to snails and hermits for your CUC, any other crab or shrimp would likely get eaten. You also wouldn't be able to put any other fish in the tank.

How much deeper would the ocean be if it didn't have sponges?
