Well i just tied on a 20 Long tank onto my 120 Gallon System with a 40 gallon Sump and 20 Gallon fuge. Right now i have just a RBTA and will soon half a pair of clowns. This is my first anenome and was wondering what other fish would be good in an anenome tank, or is it just clowns?

If possible i would like to do Bangaii cardinals, but something tells me they would be victims.
 
What kind of clowns are you going to get for your RBTA? IMO, for your 20 Long I would just keep your pair of clowns as they are going to be defensive of their anenome and surrounding space. You will most likely run into problems by putting anything else in there. However, to answer your question it is not uncommon to see damsels & benggai cardinals near anenomes. Benggai's in particular often take shelter in sea urchin spines, corkscrew tentacle (Macrodactyla doreensis), giant carpet
(Stichodactyla gigantea) and Haddon's carpet (S. haddoni) anemones.
 
+1 on clowns only. Maybe a porcelin crab. I've had mine for about three years with no issues with clowns. I'd guess pretty much any typical (non aggressive) invert you'd want to add would be OK.
