    Hello,

    I currently have a yellow tang medium sized , two small clown fish and a cleaner wrasse and a red blooded shrimp.

    I'm wanting to add another fish to my setup but stuck on what to choose, i have my heart set on a Blue troat triggerfish but i only have a 75g tank so its a no go.

    So , i'm looking for advice for my future purchase.

    Thanks

    What kind of tank do you have now?
    I'm assuming a FO with the thought of the BT Trigger but I have seen those in reefs.

    Here's some ideas,

    Bartlett's Anthias
    Ignitus Anthias
    Carberryi Anthias
    Flame Angelfish
    Coral Beauty Angelfish
    Royal Gramma Basslet

    FO - Fish Only
    Sometimes seen as FOWLR - Fish Only With Live Rock

    Pretty much no corals in the tank but with the above fish there shouldn't be any problems if it were a reef tank. The angels could pose a problem but I've had both and never had a problem with them eating any coral in my tank.

    Adding angels are generally considered 'with risk' in a reef tank. I my self have both a flame angel & a coral beauty and neither one has ever nipped at a coral at least as far as I have seen and never seen signs of it either.

    Anthias are nice, there are some good color wrasse that are likewise good peaceful choice, I have also been a fan of my blue reef chromis since adding it. You have alot of choices in a 75, best bet is to hit liveaquaria and window shop for ideas.
