Hey guys seems to me one of the hardest things for me to decide are what fish are good for a 75 gallon reef tank. I currently have a pair of clownfish orange spotted goby cleaner wrasse fire shrimp 2 cleaner shrimp and a handful of snails and hermit crabs. So I was just wondering if any of you guys had good suggestions on a couple more fish that I can have I love to have an Achilles tang but I understand my tank is too small so that is the challenge any suggestions?

Careful with those angels, they may nip corals, but others have had success with them in a reef, its hit or miss. Have you checked out any Flasher wrasses? They're colorful and swim everywhere.

Chromis were the first things I thought of. You could probably have a yellow tang or a kole tang. Most gobies would work. If you have a deep enough sand bed, jaw fish would work. You could have a blenny. Also dart fish and Bengai cardinals. Most basslets would do fine. I would avoid most damsels. Oh, a pair of clown fish too. You might also get away with some of the smaller anthias.

Tank is way too small for a yellow tang I'd hesitate with a tomini or kole in that size tank...
Do u have a lid on it?
Go for some fairy wrasse if you have a lid.
A pair of clownfish
A Midas blenny
A dwarf angel like a coral beauty or flame but I wouldn't keep clams or sps if you do go that route
A long nose hawkfish

Some fish that I like that would work include yellow assessor, royal gramma, firefish, zebra dartfish, any species of flasher wrasse, most fairy wrasses, melanurus wrasse, radiant wrasse, richmond wrasse, a group of dispar anthias, jawfish.

I have seen plenty of people keep a tomini or a kole tang successfully in a 75.
If you get the clam the melanurus, radiant, and richmond wrasses will eat pests that can irritate or damage the clam.
