I've seen some crazy good looking zoa/paly nano tanks on Nano-reef. Given the low flow requirements and the lighting requirements on zoas, I'm surprised we haven't seen more tanks like this here on Canreef.

Just a suggestion though.

Thats a good idea,less work as well and Maybe just one Fish like a Yellow Box Fish I love the little horns on its head!

Yellow-horned cowfish (boxfish) get quite large, quite fast...

I recommend a goby / pistol combo...they are fun to watch together and you don't need to feed much so not too much poluting of the tank. I love to watch my pair in my nano.

A yellow box fish needs a minimum of a 90g tank, and they also need pristine and stable water conditions. Ideally the tank should be set up for at least 6 months before adding one.

There are lots of small gobies or blenny's that would be more suitable for your tank size. I personally like clown gobies

I had a green clown goby once, they stay small and mine had a lot of personality. There is also a panda goby which is a bit rarer but pretty cool looking, however I couldn't find a very good pic. of one.

I have a Green Clown Goby and he is one of my favourite fish. Once you get to know them you quickly learn their favourite perch. Mine seemed to favour the Open brain until I added SPS now he can be found anywhere in the tank. He loves the SPS.
