How about taking any out? My trigger is starting to get bolder and bolder and is starting to swim out more. Not attacking the others but like more active. I got rid of a spanish hogfish and they had boundary disputes so now that he's gone I guess the trigger thinks he's the king of the reef now.

I need a cleaner. I used to have three cleaner shrimp but they died a long time ago. And now I have a coral banded shrimp so probably a cleaner wrasse. I've heard they are harder to keep.

You are overstocked now and just waiting for problems to occur. You need to read a whole lot more. I give it a couple of weeks before fish start dieing. Sorry to be so blunt, but you have a lot of mis-stocking already.
 
FWIW, a CBS typically won't perform cleaning in captivity. They do get large and cranky tho (had one for 8 years).

I'd recommend a couple of neon gobies, but your fuzzy may eat them, cleaner or no.
 
Yeah my CBS ate my school of pajama cardinals last year but he has tried cleaning my sailfin tang, (he didnt try to eat it). What fish should I remove? I'm thinking of the niger trigger and the sailfin tang too

too many large fish in a 90 Gallon. start by removing your largest and work slowly from there. In the end, you should have about 5-6 medium fish (less than six inches) or 10 or so small fish (3 inches or less).

A reasonable algorithm.
 
Remove the tangs? I can get rid of the sailfin but not dory! I could probably get rid of the maroons if they would come out of their anemone.

What if I changed my tank to this?

Frogfish or Angler
Percula Clownfish (pair)
Marine Betta Grouper
Longnose Hawkfish
Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish
Blue Tang
