Currently have a 75 gallon tank and have the following fish. Looking to add an additional grazer to help out a little. Please give me some reccomendations.

1xsmall yellow tang
1x super small blue tang (will trade him out when medium size)
1x6 like wrasse
1xsnowflake clown
1xhelmet head clown
1x watchman/pistol pair
 
Are you looking for grazers as in Snails, Urchins, or fish?
 
what needs to be grazed? hair algae? If so try lawnmower blenny.
 
Just some small bits of normal algae to help keep tank clean. I’ve tried one in the past and didn’t have much success :/
 
Tail spot and other blennies from the Ecsenius genus could work for you (except the midus blenny). Rainford gobies eat algae too. You could try a one spot fox face but may have aggression issues with the tangs.
 
I’d do a blue tuxedo urchin.
 
A 75 will be fine for 1 Tuxedo Urchin. They are algae eating Kings. If you don’t have a supply of algae you will have to supply it for it in forms of nori sheets of algae wafers. I have 1 in my 240 and have to feed it a sheet every 3-4 days. They are Reef safe the only negative about them is they will knock over any small frags as they move along your rock and love to wear frags, Snails, and crabs as hats. If you have a acrylic tank they will scratch it up if you have glass your ok.
