Lost a Foxface, suggestions on replacement

My little one spot foxface died this past weekend from what looked like starvation (never was real healthy). I am torn on what to do now.
My tank is an aggressive tank: 75 FOWLR (SFE, Volitan, and Tusk). Everyone gets along great. I'm torn on getting another fish or sticking with what I have. I have even toyed with the idea of just getting a DME and giving the tank to him alone.
Any suggestions on a tank mate if I decide to go that way?
Thought about a Niger Trigger but real worried he would shread my volitan.

Definitely NOT a puffer. Not only are they potentially lionfish killers (as is the Niger Trigger), but with a SFE, Volitan, and Tusk in a 75, you are already pushing the bio-load limit, IMO, and a messy puffer will definitely make things worse. Moreover, each of the fish you already have could outgrow a 75.
Don't add anything. You'll probably have to subtract or upgrade with the fish you already have.
Just my opinion.
