is that all that is in tank at this time, or do you have coral as well?

No tangs,sweetlips,snappers,lookdowns,triggers,porcupine puffers,volitan's lionfish,sharks,groupers...wow that list would be huge.Best to see what kind of fish interest you..and then ask about them before deciding to add them.You may have problems with the skiunks as they pair,they may kill the third.You may want to remove one before this happens and return him.

Firefish, fairy wrasses, cardinals, royal gramma, perhaps pygmy angels.
As stated, research the animals first and add slowly. I kept a small yellow tang for years in a 72 bowfront and he/she did fine. Others would disagree.
Good luck in stocking the tank.
