Default 5 gallon setup

I just wanted to start a thread on the 5 gallon nano that I set up about 6 months ago. If anyone has input or stocking suggestions for something this small I appreciate any and all input. Going to keep it brief for now since I'm on my tablet but I'll add pictures later.

5 gallon Fluval Spec tank - http://usa.hagen.com/Aquatic/Aquariu...-Desktop/10516

Right now it has:
~7 lbs of live rock + live sand
2 feather dusters
Halloween hermit crab
2 nassarius snails, 1 turbo
2 sexy shrimp
Cleaner shrimp
Yellow watchman goby
Ocellaris clownfish


There was a firefish in there before the clown but he sadly jumped to his death while I was on vacation and a friend was feeding them. I'm not sure if the lid was left off..
The clown is quite small and the plan is for him to move on to the 65 gallon tank once it's ready to go so his stay in the nano is only short-term. The goby may do the same.

Other than some small coral frags I have no definite plans to add anything. If the fish moved on to a bigger tank, I've considered a few other livestock options including: green clown goby, Harlequin starfish, and coral banded shrimp (if I relocated the cleaner).

Pics to come!
