$99 on Liveaquaria. $79 on Aquacon. I got mine for $58 at my LFS. It seems the price is coming down a little bit, but I don't see them often at the LFS.

There are also a few wrasses that will work in a 20g - if you like wrasses

(i.e. pin stripe wrasse, pink streaked wrasse, pygmy wrasse)

and even fewer that are reef safe. I know those helfrisches are spendy, but soo cool!

yea and they are $100 carpet surfers.

I would personally get the clowns and a sand sifting goby, maybe a yellow watchmen for some more color. If you want a fourth maybe a royal gramma but in my opinion that (4) is fully stocked. Six fish in a 20 is way to much.

Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Clown Goby, Green Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Firefish I would stop right there but if you want a third fish Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Yellow Banded Possum Wrasse

It is a very small tank and most fish like their own territory. Think of having 4 people constantly living in your room. Don't get the clown goby if you plan on sps.

Every wrasse suitable for a 20 gallon tank is reef safe

I dont know too much about wrasses, just that a bunch are not reef safe... but good to keep in mind!
