I have a 75 gallon display with 2 clownfish. I am getting 3 Kupang damsels and 2 skunk clear shrimp. Are those a good choice? I want to as 2 tangs is a yellow tang a good one to and and what are other good wine to add?
 
They should all be fine - azures are generally fairly mellow. I have 7 damselfish in my system that all get along fantastically: 1x kupang (azure), 3x sapphire (blue devil), 1x talbot, 1x domino and 1x 2-stripe. Keep in-mind that each will want their own unique hiding spot (rock ledge, cave, crevice, etc.)
 
75g, I think that is just fine, need lots of hiding spots.
Go with yellow tang if you can get it, superior rock cleaner.
Shrimps fine. Another tang, ok, best might be a bristltooth as they don’t get to, too large.
Might have some squabbles at first, but should settle down.

I’d personally only do 1 tang in that tank, 2 pushes it and even then 1 is pushing it and you’d only really be able to have a Ctenochaetus tominiensis. For the Zebrasoma Tangs like yellows I’d personally aim for a 5’x2’x2’ at the minimum as they swim more than most Ctenochaetus tangs and even my current Ctenochaetus is wanting a 5’ tank (She’s happy in the 4’x2’x2’ but she could do with the 5’x2’ floor space).

If you want a fish similar to a tang but won’t risk needing to be rehomed go for a species of Dwarf Angel as whilst they can be RSWC the Coral Beauty is the safest and equally as beautiful (Yes it’s common but they’re all beautiful).
