I have time to cancel order so i need to know quikly if this was a good or bad idea.......i got 4 days to cancel

What kind of unicorn did you buy? There are a few different kinds, none of which will be suitable for long in a 75. They grow 18+, some up-wards of 26 inches.

Gorgeous fish. I was looking at one in an EI&BI as well selling for $199 that's XX-Large myself. But recommended tank size is 180g.

It doesn't tell you the scientific name? There must be a picture of it. Compare it to other pictures of unicorn tangs.

As an owner of a Naso Unicorn Tang, they grow FAST! AMAZING fish, like a dog. Mine grew 3 inches in a year. The fish will out grow your tank very fast. Even a 3 1/2 inch Unicorn should NOT be kept in a 75 gallon. No tang should be kept in a 75 gallon. :( If I were you, I'd cancel the order. That's my opinion. Sorry.

But we aren't talking about a yellow tang are we.
Yellow tang might work, but a Naso not so much.
