I have a Redsea melody I believe, its about 2 gallons of salt water, 2 inches of live sand, about 3 pounds of live fiji rock, and have in the tank currently a false percula clown and a green crab, I plan on upgrading my light very shortly and introducing a hermit crab, possible a small starfish and some coral, any suggestions?
here is a link to my tank pics of it so far.

I'd skip the starfish. Most of them either get too big for that size tank, or are delicate enough that you're unlikely to be able to keep them in there.

I'm only talking about the types that you can typically purchase in a LFS.

There are also micro or mini stars that folks have in their refugiums usually, and these would be fine, but they are tiny, uncolored, and you'll only see them periodically, but they are kinda cool when you can find them.

As for coral, I'd go with a small frag of frogspawn, possibly a frag of green star polyps, yellow polyps, zoos, mushrooms, maybe xenia.

Welcome to Nanotank.

I believe that is the "wave" series, different from my Melody series. Yours holds probably about a half a gallon to a gallon more than mine. I saw that one, but didn't like how I'd have to hang a filter on the side and it having to be a smaller one. I got a bigger one that's rated for a 5 to 10 gallon tank. The Whisper 10 HOB.

BTW: Looks neat, I like the emerald crab
I bought one of those for my girlfriend's 12 gallon JBJ, and he's an active eater and mowing away all the green hair algae :) More power to the crab.
