What fish in 15g?

Hi! I've got a 15g tank left and I would like to make it a saltwater tank.
It will probably be a FOWLR with some seaweed like caulerpa, although I might add some cheap soft corals. What fish could I add?
I had thought of a four stripe damselfish and one or two small gobies, is this possible?
If that's not possible, i'd like to have a royal gramma, is that possible?
 
Too small a tank to really keep fish in. You can put a clown goby if you want, but I wouldn't go with more than that.
 
definitely too small for damsels, but you can do multiple microfish - Gobies: trimmas, eviotas, grissingeri, trissogobius, bryaninops, aeoliops; Blennies: barnacle blennies, roughhead blennies; blue line pipefish; urchin clingfish; gumdrop coral crouchers... You're able to get fish from De Jongi, I guess if you're in the Netherlands, and they always seem to have them. Very jealous! Everything other than the Aeoliops will eat frozen/flake, but for the latter you need to hatch brine.
I had about 20 in my 10g, of 7 or 8 different species, along with Pederson shrimp, sexy shrimp, bumblebee shrimp - just not too many, they don't play well with others, and any other cool, small, safe invert I could find.
 
I wouldn't do a damsel, you could get away with the Royal Gramma I'd say. It doesn't get all that big. A clown or a small goby would be fine as well, or a pygmy wrasse.
 
A pair of small shrimp gobies (Stonogobiops nematodes, yasha, dracula,...) with a pair of candy cane shrimp (Alpheus randalli.)
To that you could add a pair of bluestripe pipefish or other nano fish and shrimp.
A pair of ocellaris could work as well.

You could easily do a damsel species tank, or a species tank of an aggressive dottyback. Really any smaller assessor, dartfiah, damsel, blennies, and gobies will work. I'd say 2 fish fish max unless they're extremely small species.
