Add your live sand bed/aragonite and live rock first. Wait until your tank cycles and add the invertebrates. Wait a few more weeks and add your fish. Wait a few months and start building your reef.

Clown fish, they have bright colors.

tank kind of small
try blue damsels, easy to take care of.

Minimum of 20gal for one scorpion fish (lionfish)

OK I hope that when you bought this you realized that there is not really a tank for fish as each fish needs 4 gallons of water per inch of fish. and remember that there is displacement of water because of everything else in the tank so you probably have room for about one fish that full grown will not exceed two inches. As far as corals it depends on your lighting hard corals such as SPS or LPS have different needs. SPS will need 6 watts per gallon and LPS will need about 5 watts per gallon and most softies will do fine under 3-4 watts per gallon. I have been doing salt water for over thirty years now and I have set up many NANOS that is what you have they often look so awesome and I am sure that yours will too. I am always looking to help out a fellow reefer so email me if you want to at barrygeller@yahoo.com my smallest tank i set salt was 5.2 gallons and the largest was just over 11000 it is a lot of fun and a hobby that you will love for sure. good luck and keep me posted.

Well personally I'm partial to Angelfish, particularly Flame, Annularis, and Cream varieties, but they're aggressive to one another. Anthias (Purple Queen, Hawaiian, and Sunset) are quite beautiful, as are Blackcap Basslets. Butterfly, Clownfish, and Damsels are incredibly popular.
I don't know much about coral, but you could try here: http://www.saltwaterfish.com/site_11_03/.

clown fishes are great, because ur tank is small and clown fishes are common and cheap saltwater fishes that wont really fight and easy to feed

We started our tank with 2 chromis. They are schooling fish. They are an iridescent blue/green in color. And the best thing is they are really cheap for salt water fish.

1 of my reefs is a 12 gallon %26 i have a beautiful purple firefish in it. as for coral, i have 130w pc lighting so can't keep sps coral but i do have some lps, softies %26 mushrooms. i have 1 frogspawn, some yellow polyps, purple mushrooms, 1 green scolymia brain %26 some kenya tree frags.

i would say since you want softies only why not try the mushrooms, polyps %26 kenya tree that i mentioned.
