    if he took out the purple tang.
    I'd take out the damsel and add a pair of firefish. lots of cool blennies to. possum wrasse are neat, etc.

    Foxface's are really neat fish--I had one in my old 75g.

    Purple tang should not be in your tank, Thats not fair to stick a very active swimming fish like the purple tang in such a small tank. Suggested minimum size is 125gallons for this fish, and thats a recomended minimum. Personally i think you should return the tang and focus on fish better fitted for a 75gallon.

    just my opinion if your asking for suggestions on fish and types and sizes for your setup.

    +10000 to taking the damsels out. Make room for better fish.
    Go with a flame angel, so beautiful. Or some type of anthis.

    ... a single lyre-tail or dipar anthias would look good, if the tang weren't there I'd add a trio of anthias. if you let go of the damsel to you could add a Siganus magnificus a.k.a Magnificent Foxface.
