Dragonet or Angler fish good for this setup?

I currently in the process of setting up my 29 biocube and am looking at what I want to stock it with (have live sand, 20lbs live rock and 20lbs dry rock).

I am more interesting in keeping corals and invertebrates than I am with keeping a lot of fish.

Essentially I would like to only keep 1 or 2 fish in the tank. I am learning towards either a Dragonet or a Warskin angler. Now, I understand that both of them have special feeding requirements (dragonnets- pods and warskin- ghost shrimp).

So I have 2 questions: First, is this type of setup (mostly corals and invertebrates) good for either of these fish. And secondly, are those fish worth it? Or would it just be better to stick with like gobies, wrasses and clownfish since I am just starting out?
 
A dragonet will need more live pods than can typically be provided by a tank that size. I would go with clowns, gobies, and/or blennies.
 
I think the wartskin would be ok in that tank as long as you keep him alone in there. They don't need much space.
 
A wartskin angler would do okay in a tank that size, but he'd be the only fish. Corals could be added, though.
