Adding new fish Any ideas?

[ebockhoff]

Hi! I have a 75 gallon reef set up w/ a sump now for about 2.5 years. I currently have a lionfish, 2 clowns and an engineer goby. I have a some mushrooms, a leather, anthela and a torch coral. I also have an anenome. My friend (who sells saltwater fish/coral) has given me some bad advice in the past. I don't want to be set up for failure. I wanted to get some new fish and he recommended the following:
longnose butterfly
2 blue throat triggers
queen angel
I want easy to care for stuff in the tank. I read the description on saltwaterfish, and it said that they are difficult to care for, and that triggers are food agressive. Anyone have any opionions/thoughts? Can you give me any suggestions on what to add?
Thanks in advance.

He sure does give bad advice; I wouldn't trust any of those fish around corals. (Maybe the BT triggers and yes, all triggers are aggressive eaters.) Also, I think your tank is too small for a pair of BT triggers and WAY too small for a Queen Angel.Maybe look at some of the reef safe wrasse--like fairy or flasher wrasse; most are fairly easy, peaceful, and beautiful.
