Adding a centropyge multifasciata

To an established pair of centropyge aurantia. 75 gallons lots of live rock. What do people think about compatibility ?
 
I'd suggest against it unless you can find a specimen already eating prepared foods well. Angels will graze constantly. So, if you have a multifasciata that won't eat prepared foods, it's then got to compete with two other centropyges. I gave a centropyge multifasciata a try early this year and he wouldn't eat anything. I even tried live foods like brine and blood worms, fresh clams, and every frozen food/brand you can think of.

I think space wise you might be able to get away with it, but I'd say no due to difficulty in feeding.
 
I have a pair of Goldens and Multibar. They don't pay any attention to each other. The Goldens are super reclusive and I seem them rarely. They stick to the left side of the tank and venture as far as the center of the tank on occassion.

The multibar when it is out is on the right side of the tank. But then it vanishes for days at a time, which means it's hiding behind the rock which is on the left side of the tank.

I have had my goldens for over 4.5 years. They don't come out to eat anything. They only hunt amoung the corals and rock. The multi-bar takes some live foods - live black worms, but spends most of its time hunting for food.

I also have a 400g tank with a huge fish population. But I wouldn't think twice about missing these two.
