What combos can I have in my small reef? I have a 75 gallon with a 20 gallon sump. I was looking at the kinds if relationships that would be cool to watch. I can only think of three. Get a goby/shrimp combo, clown/anenome, I also saw a hermit crab anenome combo on live aquaria. I understand that just because you buy the creatures it isn't guaranteed that they'll pair up but what other symbiotic relationships can exist and be observed in the home aquariam?

The ones you stated are pretty good you could do a small harem of anthias not exactly symbiotic but its cool to watch you could also add special anemone shrimp and crabs with the clowns.

My Maroon just found my BTA after months. Can't go wrong with a clown/anemone combo, just give it time.

You may get lucky and have your other corals host a clown as well.
Anemones are awesome but they move
My clown and torch are doing great together!

Dracula goby with a pistol shrimp are amazing to watch. Live aquaria have them all the time
