You're already started partially on the softie path: re those. You can keep fragging them off [razoring off and selling] the excess, and you may want to run a little carbon frequently to keep softie-spit from too much warfare in a little tank. Should work great. A perc or pink skunk might love wallowing in the frilly stuff. Neon goby. Any of the tiny gobies, or a small blenny.

But with the blasto, if you can keep enough carbon filtering the water to keep the softies quiet, you might try candycane coral [short reach] or maybe a small maze brain. Bubble and torch are 'reachy' and aggressive. Just watch your positioning and which way the tentacles are blowing. DOn't let shrooms up against any of these: they sting and kill coral heads. Hammer and frogspawn, however, can fight back against shrooms, being able to reach, but not being too hot, either.
