I have a 46 gal bowfront tank that consists of one Fire Clown and a bunch of live rock 
It is crawling with pods, asterina stars (I keep them under control by culling every so often) mini-brittle stars, chitons, and a few snails.
I love inverts and would love to add something interesting. I cannot add any other fish; the only thing I would possibly try would be a Black Cap or Yellow Head Jawfish. (I have a system of PVC pipes in place already under the sand.) My Fire Clown is EXTREMELY aggressive, but I am very attached to her and that is that.
I do get quite a bit of green algae that I keep under control by pulling every so often. I don't particularly mind having some, since I don't have corals (I can't afford to maintain them, plain and simple.) My lighting is a Current USA Nova Extreme 4X36" T5, 2 actinic and 2 white bulbs.
The system has been as is for about a year and a half. I upgraded from a 30 gallon long that was set up for a year and a half as well. The substrate was new, everything else is the same.
I had more snails and hermits, but they have slowly died out. I do intend on replacing them very soon.
So, any ideas? Please don't give me "turbo snails" and "blue legged hermits." I'm looking for something somewhat substantially sized, and different, but not insanely expensive. Cucumbers? Crabs that won't eat my clown? Big shrimp? Whatcha got?
