What's your tank's capacity? What are your plans with the tank's environment? Pictures?

I guess you can. Bangaii get big but take a while.

What kinda fish were you thinking? If your thinking powder blue tang then no

Some wrasses get big. I suggest checking out the flashers as they stay somewhat small.

Yes you can

Triggers get big. I have a Niger Trigger in my 180 and he is WAYYYY too big for a 32. I wouldn't advise adding any predators to a reef tank, regardless of size.

 

[Jedi1199]

The main issue with Triggers and reefs is that Triggers see most inverts (urchins, crabs, snails shrimp) as food.

Triggers are natural urchin predators. they are specialized in feeding on them. So, if you add a Trigger, count out any plans for urchins.. They will also feed on shrimp readily, snails and crabs are lower on the list, but a hungry trigger will eat what it can get.

I was joking lol. LOOOVE flashers tho

I have a yellow coris wrasse in my 40 breeder and I think that’s even a tad small for him. 50 gallon tank is best for them.

The neon dottyback will decide if you are overstocked

Generally, no. Adding another fish that's appropriate for a 32 gallon should be fine, fishy personalities aside.
