Wanted!: Invert suggestions

Invert Sexy Time!
Hey all, This section is my favorite since I started my first tank a few months ago and now I'm looking for some suggestions from the invert lovers..

I have a 12G nano. It's packed full of rock, not much sand bed. Have my first tiny frags going and mostly mounted.

My current livestock is

Firefish
High fin goby
Candy cane pistol
Porcelain crab
Cleaner shrimp
Sexy shrimp
A few blue legged hermits
A few scarlet (or red legged, not sure which, the small ones!) hermits
A trochus snail (damn do they eat)
2 Astrea snails
5 nassarius snails
2 bumblebee snails
2 stomatellas

And a cheato ball in a pear treeeee..

I'm looking for more inverts/wierd/odd things to put in. I will be filling it with corals over time, mostly acans, chalice, favias, zooa's, palys, etc. Things that don't have looooonnng tentacles to sting across my tank (I'm looking at you torch coral!)

Other then a pom pom crab, I'm plain running out of ideas on more cool things I can put in here. Fish are sorta boring, but my children and roomies demand I have them, so I will be adding a single clown (a perc).

Harliquins/bongo shrimp are not an option as they are to costly for me atm.
 
Might want to SERIOUSLY consider upgrading to a bigger tank if you want to add anything else.
 
I'm an invert lover. Notice the tank is fish-lite and all. I've posted about bioloads and number of creatures per tank numerous times in numerous places and everyone says detrius eaters / CUC style animals, etc don't really add to the bioload like a fish does and I shouldnt have a problem with it as long as my animals behavior patterns and needs are met.

I know it seems like I have a ton of stuff in there, but the tank actually looks pretty empty when you sit and scan it. If it matters, I have a TON of rock work. Tinnny itty bitty sand bed, columns that extend up the back half and form bridges, etc etc..

Advice noted though, thanks. :)

Perhaps a suggestion on something cool to add that 'bioload-lite'? Corals are a given, but are there any other neat things that are almost more beneficial then loading?
