powder blue tang is always colorful,

some species of anthias can look very cool to me

I agree. A school of anthias would be perfect! I myself had 3 in my 75 and loved them. Very bright and colorful fish.

Regal tang, yellow tang(or any tang in general are colorful IMO), foxface, anthias, wrasses, some of the reef safe triggers, clownfish. Be careful when mixing tangs, multiple tangs of similar shape will sometimes fight, and some like the sohal tang are very aggresive in general. Just make sure you don't overstock the tank, and good luck!
