Can I house both a flame Angel and a lemon butterfly fish together in a 75 gallon tank.

Add them at the same time and they’ll be good to go

Just me but I would be cautious. Flame Angels tend to be one of the more aggressive Dwarfs and Butterflyfish don't generally do well with bullies and are of a similar shape to the Flame Angel. I would get a Lemon that is bigger than the Flame Angel to help mitigate aggression concerns. Also be aware that Lemon Butterflyfish have been in relatively short supply as of late.

I actually live in Hawaii so if I can’t find one for sale I will just go and net one for myself at the beach. I see them schooling at the beach in front my house often.
