New Fish to Occupy Red Firefish Goby

I have a BC 14 that's about 13 weeks old. All parameters are fine and I have a bout 20 lbs of live rock in there with numerous corals.

I have a firefish in there right now, but he doesn't come into the open that much anymore. I'm guessing it's because there's no other fish around, and he may think there must be some sort of large predator somewhere.

Anyway, any ideas on a 2nd (and final) fish to put in there? I'm really leaning towards a very small ocellaris clown (I understand they grow, but I'm moving in 5 months so this will be temporary). I understand that clowns can be pretty territorial, but mainly to other damsels. These two should get along just fine, with the firefish coming into the open a little more??

Thanks.
 
Well another fish will not engage your firefish especially not a clown. With your sized tank, I might consider a goby shrimp combination if you have sand.
 
I have definitely seen the effect of "dither fish" in my tank. Another fish may or may not make your firefish more comfortable. Shrimp goby/pistol would be cool.
