and various crusteacians that can be a food source or a clean up crew
None of those could be put in a 20 gallon tank.

of course they can, i'm keeping them as little guys then releasing them back one they out grow the tank since their natve anyway. acually one of my faorite forms of fishing is sitting at the dock while my fishing buddies launch the sea ray, dropping a line w/ a little chunk of shrimp betweein the rocks and hauling up 2-3" mangroves like mad.

Oh no, very very bad idea, not to mention illegal. Once a fish has been taken from the wild it cannot be released back into the wild. There are diseases that exist in captive populations that do not exist in wild populations. To release a specimen back into the wild creates the possibility of introducing that disease into the wild population. This kind of activity can land you heavy fines and possibly even jail time.
