I would just use live rock with that small of a tank. Don't invest in corals as they require very good water quality to thrive. Unless your willing to keep diligent watch on your tank.

Zoa and mushrooms do good in tanks that size and a few other coral. What do you have for filtration and lighting?

I have a 14gallon biocube with upgraded lighting and have zoas,mushrooms,ricordias,and frog spawn so i would say if you have good filtration and lighting you can have a very nice 20gal coral reef tank

You can keep anything in a 20g - There are people on here keeping SPS, LPS, Softies Clams, in a 5g tank. You just have to have the right equipment. Corels you are pretty much open to A LOT! Fish on the other hand, you are limited. You can't stick a Sohoal Tang in there. It all depends on your equipment.

Do your research on here, look through the threads. get some T-5 lights, a nice Hang On Back SKIMMER and weekly to biweekly water changes, You can keep a lot of different corals. Get about 20-30lbs of live rock for you filtration, since you don't have a sump this will work good. Read through the "NANO" forms. A lot of information for smaller tanks.

Good Luck! Read, Read, Read!! And Take Your Time.
