I have no personal experience with these two but the starry blenny is similar to the regular lawnmower and he was cool though I have heard the funnest are the Midas blennies

Just one to keep aggression down. Why not replace it with another wrasse or even better a yellow tang (my favorite).
The notorious rivalry is between kole/bristletooth Tang and blennys

a yellow tang seem kind of big for a 75 and i don't want another wrasse because there is already a fairy and flasher and the other types eat tons of pods and feather duster also crabs which is stuff i want

Man this is a heavily stocked tank and there are a lot of questions being asked which has me believing you are an inexperienced reefer. This list of inhabitants is going to be difficult to keep in smaller quantities let alone what you have. The 2 mandarins are an issue in its self, how do plan to feed them? Most your fish will all be competing for the same food source in the tank like pods. Are you going to feed heavy to keep up with the demands? Are you going to have a constant copepod population to supplement the tank? What filtration will you have to export the massive amount of nutrients from the fish and feeding?

these are things that can’t be overlooked or taken lightly. If these are not addressed you will have sick, aggressive, and dying fish.

yes i am a new reefer but i've kept freshwater tanks for 2 yrs and i've been watching bulk reef supply during that time

so i i'm going to learn how to culture pods before i get the mandarin and rainford goby
for nutrient export i'm saving to get a pax bellum and will run a large skimmer if necessary and i will do weekly 20 % water change if necessary
everything will be added slowly

i'm planning to get 2 auto feeder and that will both feed three times a day at different times
one feeding tdo c2 chroma boost by reef nutrition
the other feeding hikari seaweed extreme

for frozen
1 every other day zoo med can o cyclops
rotating with pe mysis

for live like i mentioned copepods
twice a week live baby brine
once a month gracilaria from reef cleaners

potentially phyto to help with pods

i know this is a ton

hence the pax bellum and oversized skimmer if i need it

also i homeschool so i have plenty of time and i have a pretty good lfs that could take some fish if there are issues

edit i know a pax bellum and large skimmer are expensive but i can earn enough to buy them in 2-3 months and i don't think i will be adding enough fish at once i will need it soon
