What kind of fish can I have in a 6-gallon nano?

This is a cross-post from the AZ Frag forum, so apologies to those who have seen it over there.

I have a 6-gallon JBJ nano that my DH and his friend (who are the reefkeepers - I am a true newb to the hobby) are going to set up for me at my office. I plan to stock it with a few pieces of live rock and keep the corals to some nice colorful zoas/palys and maybe mushrooms.

I'd also like one nice fish for the tank, something that is colorful and preferably one that moves around a bit (versus a goby or something that will just perch itself on a rock or something that will hide and never be seen). Any thoughts on what kind of fish I can keep in it that won't quickly outgrow the tank? Would a small firefish be too big?

In case it matters, lighting is 150W DE MH, and I will have a 1/20 HP Arctica chiller on it. DH's friend, who works for a company doing tank maintenance, will stop by my office weekly to do a water change and other upkeep on it.

Thanks,
Eva
