I need some suggestions for fish for a 75 gallon reef. We want a max of four fish and plan to have a lot of live coral and inverts. The fish must be of carribean origin.

how about a pair of fire fish, school of bangi cardinals, possibily a clownfish and an anomie*READ HOW TO RAISE ONE AND GET ADVICE FROM THE BOARD BEFORE BUYING AN ANOMIE, HIGH REQUIREMENTS*
sorry but im not screaming, people make the mistake and buy anomies without reading about them first
some people will buy the wrong anomie the clownfish wont host to, they will buy an anomie with checking the requirements for lighting, which is pretty high, they need good water conditions, must be fed and are poisonous if died or dieing, some die off with-in months

If you are going to invest a lot of money into corals - i would not have an anemone. From what i understand, their life in captivity is not extremely long - and when they do die they nearly liquify and HEAVILY toxify the system. I don't care how beautiful or how neat it is to marry a clown with one - a $20 anemone dies and puts $1000+ of corals at risk? i'd flush him first. If you want some anemone's, i'd get a small 15-20 gal tank - and put em in a diff tank that can be cut off and isolated if necessary. Just my 2cents on anemone's.. lol

well thats all i can think of right now, my mind is else where, my hermit is slowly dieing and i dont know what to do, i wrote a thread where no one is answering "i hate blue leg hermits" and i just recieved two mangroves for my tank all in the same hour...
but yeah, i would recommend a lawnmower blennie, hawkfish, midas blenny, a bottom dwelling blenny are good fish, flame hawks, a type of anthias are really cool they are very colorful (my pick), mandarin gobies(later on)
dwarf angels i would get later perhaps 6 months into the tank, dont know about tangs
Im not saying get them all or mix and match them but those are just ideas on what you might want to choose
a book would be helpful in choosing, the conscientious marine aquarist is sold in this website, good beginners book
