I would love to get a schooling bannerfish for my 75 gallon reef. But first I have a few questions. I have read mixed opinions on how reef safe heniochus diphreutes actually is. Is it reef safe. Also would a six inch bannerfish outgrow a 75. the tank has a pair of bartlett's anthias, small male maroon clownfish, african flameback angelfish, and pinkspotted watchman goby. nitrate is >10, ammonia and nitrite 0.

You will always find mixed opinions on butterflyfish, whether they're reefsafe or not, but you will never find a definite answer, as i believe its all about the individual fish,
I would say a 75 is too small, but having said that i'd like to know the physical dimensions of your tank and then take it from there. Still, a 6-7" fish is big and will need a lot of swimming room, IMO a better fish would be henochious chrysostomus, 5" , and still keeping with the bannerfish 'look'
