Currently I have:
2 Clownfish
1 Scopas tang
1 yellow Coris wrasse
1 lawnmower blenny
1 twinspot goby

I want to add a fish that will occupy the water column more and add some unique color to the tank. Also reef safe.

Any suggestions?

I plan to move to a 125 or larger within the next year so I am not opposed to getting a fish that may eventually outgrow the 75 and add to the 125 as a centerpiece fish.

Flame or coral beauty angel
Pyramid butterfly
copperband butterfly- One that eats
Tomini tang - Realize the scopas will be an issue with other tang introductions
3-4 lyretail anthias

I have 5 which Ive had for at least 4 years. One bad fish does not denote them having ich moving forward. Often they are susceptible to uronema or bacterial versus ich. You have to acclimate them well and give them a ruby rally pro bath

I agree with you. I may decide to stay away because I don't think I would have room for a group of 3-5

that's an amazing fish do you just have a single?
I don't have 1 unfortunately always wanted one. If I could add one I definitely would but 100% sure one of my Tangs would kill it. Nyaquatic.com always have them on sale during their live sales on Sundays on IG & FB if interested..but I would definitely only get 1..my next Tank I plan on putting it first
