I have a 75 gallon tank with 2 snowflake eels, fuzzy dwarf lion and a two spot tang. I had a Niger trigger in there and moved him to the 240. I would like to put another fish in the tank to swim with the two spot.
It has to not be food for the eels and not dash across the tank and eat the live ghost shrimp I feed the lion. That was why I had to move the trigger.

Thanks

Doesn't have to be reef safe, I assume?

Lemon peel angel maybe?

Or a wrasse that won't eat the shrimp, but is also large enough to not be eaten...like a Solan fairy wrasse.

There are macros and a few corals in the tank. Not reef safe is fine.

I wasn't sure if an angel would go after the shrimp or not.
I have considered another tang, butterfly or angel. I have no experience with wrasses.

Any large anthias like the sunburst or POSSIBLY squarespot should be safe to not eat the shrimp.
Another good candidate could be any rabbitfish, or a bluechin trigger.

I thought of a rabbit fish or a foxface too.
