Angel*Fish
cats and large squashes
I know - but I've heard horror stories... there's one on this threadhttp://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=894592&highlight=bluethroat
Just too risky for me - I guess we all have our personal tolerances - certain people wouldn't have angels in a reef

Should I add the blue throat last then? What's a good order to add the fish to the tank.
1- Blue throat trigger ( 2-3'' )
1- Regal tang ( 2'' )
2- Male True Percula clown and female tomato clownfish. ( already together in qt )
3- female lyretails ( or should I just get 4 females? )
1- Male lyretail
4- Green chromis ( in qt )
1- Royal gramma ( in qt )

Just about all wrasses need a sand bed to sleep in.
I've had my red corris now for over a year. Got it from a friends tank. I've never seen him bother a thing. The only problem I saw was he liked to flip over my rocks and frags that were in the sand bed. Not that he was bothering them, but he was looking for food under them.
Mine has now reached his adult coloration and that pic you posted does nothing for the way the colors really look. The blue spots are a deep blue that almost glow, same with the yellow tail. The face on mine is more of a peach color that fades into the orange body. he's about 4" long now. I did see some at a wholesalers that were about 6" long once.
As for having sand to sleep in, I met a guy local here who had moved his tank temporarly into his gargae while he was remodeling his house. Instead of filling it back yp with sand, he just put in a tupperware bowl in the corner with sand in it. Sure enough, his wrase found it and that is where he goes to sleep. Funniest thing. He laso protects his "bed" from the other fish as well.

I completely second this fish!!!!
Also the Jawfish is an awesome fish to have, most do not think they are eye catching, but I had a couple of people over and with in 5 mins they said that was their favorite fish out of my potter's angle, true percs, blue tang, baggai cardinal, diamond goby...Plus the Jawfish will entertain you forever.
I will be getting a leopard wrasse, as soon as I get some more cash.

I know you already know this but i wouldn't add a regal tang or blue throat in a 75... just not fair even when there small. As far as the blue throat being peacefull most cases yes but being in a 75 i see more potential for problems to occur for you.
