I have a 75 gallon tank with 3 dwarf lionfish and 2 snowflake eels in it
What do you want to keep?
Just do it. No Great White Sharks in 90 gallons though.

I love the idea of keeping snowflakes! lionfish i wouldn't mind either
I like puffers too but if im not wrong all the saltwater puffers would eventually be to large for a 90?
Maybe even a smaller trigger? im not aware of the smaller types

Saltwater animals quite often have species that will work in smaller tanks and others that require huge ones.
If you catch the reef tank disease it is not my fault.

There are a lot of puffers that stall small and would be fine in a 90. It does rule out dogface, porcupine, and stars and stripes, which are personally my favorite.
I agree with @WVNed just pick an online vendor and start looking at the fish in the categories that are predatory species.
I would also look into some of the non-reef safe wrasses for a predator tank, but I'm not sure which ones stay small enough for a 90g tank. I absolutely love the look of lunar wrasses but I know they get too big for a 90.
