I have a 75 gal, about 80 lbs live rock, established since july 5. As of now I have:
Purple Pseudochromis
Lemon Peel
Tomato Clown
Blue Damsel
inverts:
various hermits
cc star
small feather dusters
turbo snails
anyway.....I want something with nice color and will be reef safe. I have no corals yet but want them in a few more months. I just cant decide on a few more fish....any ideas?

Some options:
A blenny such as lawnmower/algae or bicolor.Starry's are awesome if you can find one.Blennies have tons of personality.
A flame hawkfish..also lots of personality.Caution w/ shrimp,but I have never had issues w/ mine with all sizes and types of shrimp.
Assessors,blue or yellow~Nice fish.
A wrasse,such as a sixline or yellow corris wrasse.
Gobies,such as yellow watchman,rainsford,neon,bumblebee.
The lemonpeel may need to be removed,when you get corals.
And the CC star will definately have to go..not reef safe.

I'd say a sailfin tang is too large for a 75.
I'd also say that you're overstocked, winditup. 1" per gallon may work for fresh but it really doesn't in salt.

as far as my tank being overstocked...only 3 of my fish are about 4" and the others are about 2". all of my levels stay within req. and dont have any problems. They have plenty of room to swim and hide...it's all good because after the holidays..I am going to a 90 reef and just switching it all over to that...but thanks for your concern....

I'd go with a six-line wrasse or a blenny or goby! You could also possibly get a shrimp goby and the matching shrimp and add some excitement to the tank! :thinking:

I like our bicolor blenny. He's fun to watch.

Ahhhhh! That'll be great! :joy:

It wasn't an arguement. It was a statement of opinion. So what if it happens to be the same opinion as experts and experienced hobbyists.
