Next Fish for 75 gallon tank?

[rhpmiller]

I’ve got a Nyos Opus 300 G2 that is 75g that has been running a few months.

I’ve currently got a Starry Blenny, Melanarus Wrasse, two clowns, and two neon blue gobies. All of them are fairly small and young. I’ll be planning to have a mixed reef in the tank.

I’ll add a smaller tang at some point, but curious if folks have any other recos beyond some of the “usual suspects” (I.e. Royal Gramma, Dragonet, etc.)?

Check out some of the wrasses. There are SO many to choose from. I'm gonna end up with 1 or 2, but definitely a Carpenter's Flasher Wrasse (Paracheilinus Carpenteri). Theyre only about 3 inches as an adult, but it gives an intense splash of red to the tank

Another interesting fish is the Filefish. They have a different look to them. AND they like to eat aiptasia! Bonus!

Dwarf angels, never had one nip at a coral (when I kept corals in my bigger tank lol). Cherubs are so cute! Coral beauties are pretty too. Or there are swallow tail angels that are regarded as reef safe (not with caution like the dwarves). I also like cardinals!

Fairy or flasher wrasse 2-3 different species is awesome
Leopard wrasse
Another Halichoeres wrasse
Tilefish

Ditch the tang and get a one spot Foxface instead.

White tail bristletooth kole eye tang or maybe a hawkfish.

Some of these are repeats
Foxface, active and bright
Leopard wrasse
Jawfish if you can handle a digger
Planning on filefish myself as my Copperband has been ignoring the aiptasia for the most part
Maybe firefish gobies
Blemnies are fun fish that would fit in that size well

I do not think a foxface is appropriate for this size tank. They get huge. Mine outsized my naso tang in just a few months. He is huge. For reference my naso is probably 5 inches

Are they cool with other wrasses?

If you’ve seen my lesser shown species of wrasse then you’ll have seen my stunning male Carpenteri that this time last year was a female :)

They’re fine with other wrasses is what I’m trying to get at!

Really appreciate all of the recommendations!
