Centre piece fish for 75 gallon

I would again be concerned about jumping with a mystery wrasse although they certainly are nice looking.

I have considered dwarf angels but the tank is SPS dominated and I'm not sure I want to risk it.

You are correct, I have lost fish to carpet surfing... Even fish that supposedly don't jump, I have lost them, from jawfish to blennies.

Ah, so you do have SPS, I wouldn't recommend the angels then.

How about a:
- squareback anthias
- Marine Beta - they do hide, but are gorgeous when out. they are reef compatible and peaceful

I like well-stocked tanks, but in this case, I have to agree that with your fish choices, the 75g is already going to have a heavy bioload. I would think the Blue Throat is going to be a beautiful centerpiece fish.

I know this is not what you want to read, but unless you're planning to upgrade to a larger tank in the next year or so, the foxface is going to outgrow that tank. Rabbitfish can grow very fast. I traded my rabbitfish in because it grew at better than an inch a month in my 210g. They eat lots & poop lots too.

If you want to get another centerpiece fish, wait till you trade/sell the foxface, since its the fastest grower & biggest bioload.

Bluethroat Triggers are a beautiful fish. I have one, and love it.

Just make sure you get a male, as they are the more colorful of the species. Mine has finished forming the yellow on his tail, and the yellow is starting to form on his fins (very patchy right now). His bluethroat wasn't really there, unless ****ed off, but now is there 100% with his growth.

P.S. Bluethroats have KILLER eyes, so cool to look at
