Moving soon and going to be upgrading from a 30g to a 75 at the new place. Current stock includes 2 clowns, a yellow damsel, and a neon goby + the cleanup crew. Any ideas what I should add next?

Are you doing a reef or FOWLR?

I would definitely get a algae grazer in your stocking.
Oh yeah good point. It's a reef, currently about 15 small colonies of mostly soft corals and lps.

For an algae grazer for that size tank, I would look in to a zerbrasoma tang (I like the Scopas Tang the best) or a foxface. Definitely get such fish when they are small to allow them to grow into the tank.

I would also look into some more gobies or wrasses, you can get a lot of color and unique fish from those categories.

You could go with a young zebrasoma tang, but it will outgrow a 75 rather quickly. (If you haven't already considered it, a 90g or 120g is only inches change in footprint over a standard 75) A bristletooth tang will also be a great algae eater, but will stay smaller, longer if you are going with a 75. White Tail, Tomini, etc.
