Yes. I have kept Hippo & Yellow tangs in my 75G for more than 20 years.

Is the tank cycled? What else do you want in your display tank?

Depending on the species, the order that fish are added is important. As a generalization, the most aggressive fish should be added last.

I would not include a Rabbit Fish in a 75G tank. They grow to 9” long.

I should add that Blue Tangs get to be 12” long. When Hippo Tang started bullying Yellow Tang, I rehomed him after 5 years.

Yes. I kept a yellow tang in a 4 foot 70 gallon tank for over a decade. Get a captive raised one. That should probably be the only tang in a tank that size IMO.
