Hey...Just wondering if anyone could suggest what other neat fish I could get...
75 reef, with softies/Lps/Sps (Mixed)
Tankmates as of now:
Yellow Tang
1, soon to be 2 clowns
1 fairy wrasse
1 unknown Jawfish
I was thinking of a pygmy angel, or a regal tang...what do you think?
I am planning on adding a clam by the way.
Any suggestions of a neat fish to add to add some more color? Thanks!

if your going to add a pygmy angel I reccomend it being the last fish you add to your tank because they get very aggressive towards newcomers once established in a tank, they are also one of the few angels that you can keep in groups as long as they are all introduced to the tank at the same time, three pygmys would look cool, they are one of my favorite dwarf angels.

I really only wanted one pygmy..wouldnt one do fine too? I worry about getting the one at the LFS and coming home and it eating my corals...what are the chances that will happen? Should I try him out or will he definantley go after the corals? I guess it would go hippo then pygmy right? Thanks!

My pigmy angel is the most docile fish I have in the tank. Yellow face, purple body and is 1 1/2" long maybe.

they are docile untill you add a newcomer... not always though depending on the size of the tank and how much territory he's claimed, mine was great untill I added a psuedochromis fridmani then he turned on every one else in the tank. in a generalization they sould be the last fish added, of course there are exeptions to almsot any rule.
And one pygmy does just fine alone, it was just an Idea they dont need to school.

you have a really large tank they are talking in a 75 I dont know if that would be enough turf to keep multi angels happy especially not a flame and a pygmy IMHO

You already have a Yellow Tang - No More Tangs Allowed in a 70 Gallon tank!!
A flame Agnel is a nice addition - they're smll but very active and personable.
If you're looking at keeping a reef tank keep your fish numbers low.
How about some neon gobies or a wrasse or two
