you could do the clown pair, foxface, angelfish (not always reef safe its always a possibility they will nip at corals and they sometimes liek inverts too), flame hawk, sandsifting goby, and the wrasse.. that would be QUITE enough for that tank....
Keep in mind a small foxface turns into a large one fairly quickly..
I would do the clownfish pair, a smaller foxface, the flame hawk, a goby and a reef safe wrasse... I personally would leave out the dwarf angel if you are going to have corals..but thats me...he would be okay in there but that would be max..

I was wondering, instead of the foxface, could i get either purple or yellow tang in my 75? Ive heard yes , heard no. Want your opinions. Thanks.

Well I've read through all the posts and there is some great info. As far as the yellow or purple tang I feel like they can both be real aggressive, especially in a 75. If you want a tang check out the tomini (spelling?) tang. They stay relatively small and seem to be passive and add allot of activity. The yellow tang I had was a prick along with the 2 my dad had which were equally mean, we both traded them all back.

+1. I removed one from my 80G. It started to boss around the tank. Gave it to my friend that has Puffers, Lions, Triggers etc. In his tank, he now knows his place on the food chain and is mellow in there. I always hear and read stories about yellow tangs and powder blue tangs getting aggressive the bigger they get.

im not a big fan of tanks in smaller tanks, that being said alot of people do think like a tomini or a kole could go in a smaller tank for a while.. it sill still probably outgrow the tank but not nearly as fast and with less aggression..

Agree....PB's can be evil.....I made the PB my last addition to my 240, and holy moses it didn't take him 8 hours to start terrorizing others.......He even had issues with my clowns.......
