One fish you would recommend for any tank?

[Fishn28]

Looking for an addition to my 75 gallon mixed reef tank
I want a fish that has color, and personality, and isn’t bothered by other fish
I have 2 occ. clowns, tomini tang, white cheek tang, Pygmy angel, YWG, tail spot blenny
Tangs are about 1.25 inches, the tomini isn’t a huge fan of new additions but gets over it eventually, the white cheek is pretty relaxed

Any input is appreciated

a flasher wrasse, dottyback, or foxface would be fine. Keep in mind, dotty backs can be jerks, but if you're adding it last, it should be fine

What color splash are you looking for?
How deep is the sand?
Coral safe or FOWLR?

Something like a yellow, red or pink, sand bed is around 1-2 inches, needs to be reef safe

Will fox face eat corals?

Foxface or some peaceful wrasse

I second a good utility wrasse. Usually good citizens, keep certain pests@ bay and are good looking.

Depends. Some people won't get them because they had a bad experience, but in my experience, I've never had a problem. I think they're more likely to NOT be a problem than to be one.

I wouldn't add any fish to that tank. Its beyond maxed out. Put that money towards a 5' tank if you want tangs.

A foxface is quite large for a 75. Perhaps a royal gramma or a bangai cardinal would be nice. You could also consider something like a talbots damsel. They're pinky peach and yellow and would be very subdued since you have some more aggressive established fish.

Halichoeres Chrysus or Leucoxanthus. Carpenter or McCoskers Flasher Wrasse, a nice Fairy Wrasses...

Will fox face eat corals?

Not usually. Definitely a good fish that can hold it's own against a Tomini.

What kind do you recommend?

A flame hawkfish would add nice personality. Chalk basslets or a royal gramma could be a good addition as well!

I also agree with this that your tank is pretty much maxed out and if you DO add 1 more fish make it small and make it the last one

Will those wrasses eat pests?

The 2 Halichoeres will but they may also go after your inverts as they age fyi

 

[1112-425XL]

Male Lyretail Anthia is a good addition

Will those wrasses eat pests?

The Halichoeres will, yes. Another good pest fish that stays small is Springeri Damsels. A beautiful blue/black marbled fish. Eats flatworms.

How about a yellow Coris?

That's the Chrysus. It's not really a Coris.
