What are the dimensions of the tank (width of the tank can help narrow down some options)?

A yellow “Coris” wrasse, leopard, or blue star leopard might be good additions. A lubbocks fairy wrasse might be a good option also. They have good color, are on the affordable side, and can usually hold their own.

And I’m sure you know this, but the white cheek will grow to be quite large and need a larger tank. And both tangs will become more aggressive as they mature over time.

I love my h. leucoxanthus and h. chrysus (utility wrasse). They've either destroyed my flatworm issue, or are keeping them in check. I havent seen one in ages. Solar wrasse is colorful, and a mighty big JURK. 3 options for a 75.

What kind do you recommend?
H. Claudia (have it), H. Melanurus (have it), H. Timor (have it), H. Chrysus, H. Cosmetus (rare imo). Any of those work, but you need sand (don't know if you have or not.

Also as said above, that white cheek has gotta go, it's gonna get mean and big fast in that 75. You need at least double that (really a 6ft tank with LIGHT stocking).

Edit: 6ft as in180g, not 125g.

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
Gold spotted rabbit fish. Or hawk fish. Squirrel fish are also cool

I would also recommend a foxface. I recently picked up a fairy wrasse and one spot foxface and the foxface is constantly working. Very pretty fish that has some color. He was a little skittish at first though.

Midas Blenny, Flame Hawkfish, Leopard Wrasse? All good options that stay small.

2nd the Melanurus. Think everyone with a reef needs one. They’re pest management pros.

Foxface will get way to big for your tank and fast. Mine was under an inch when I got him and now he is a good 5 inches. Got him in June of last year
