Do the anthias get aggressive?

I only have a Male. He was one of the last additions to my tank and he has been great. He hasn't bothered anyone or been bothered by anyone.

Two tangs in a 75 and 2 clowns is enough. They may be small right now but they are all going to be about 4-6 each. I would look at some bottom dwelling fish.

Yellow watchman and pistol shrimp would be good

Any of the clown gobies

Scooter Blenny once you get pod populations up.

Is that in a 75? If so what is your stocking?
I have an 88g, it's 4ft long. Probably a little overstocked, but extremely peaceful.

I have 90g same size footprint as 75 just taller.

Keep in mind that a tank that will successfully grow all these types of corals may be difficult to maintain. While there are many different corals in each category, in general, the needs of SPS are very different from soft corals... It's probably wise to decide on a few corals from the same category (or corals with similar nutrition requirements), and try to keep these for a few months. Then you can choose corals from an additional category and see if you can maintain both types.
