What are some really unique and colorful fish?

Hey guys just got my tank up and running, I have 2 black clowns in there and I'm looking to add fish over the next little bit!

I'm trying to find really cool reef safe fish that display great color or shape!
If they had some utility to them that be great too!

I have a 75 gal so keep that in mind
Thanks!!

One of my all time favorites is an Australian harlequin tusk fish. It's utility is to demolish your cuc. Lol although your tank is on the small side for one.

Fairy Wrasse are colorful and reef safe.

Also Flame angel is one of my personal favorite but you have 50/50 chance of it nipping on corals.

I LOVE my flame hawkfish. Fun friendly personality, curious and always out.

harlequin filefish is nice but hard to keep alive with its demanding sps as a food source and not common at your local fish store. pellet weened ones seem only available in the USA.

I'd say anthias. Some are more challenging than others but they certainly add a huge splash of colour to your tank.
