Re: Howdy
Most bristleworms are reef safe.They are scavengers that will eat any fish that dies or uneaten food.However,I personally don't like the large ones you mentioned.Removing the big ones will be up to you.
I would skip the Hippo Tang(Dori).Those tangs grow very large and needs more swimming room than a 75g. can provide.My only advice is to stock slowly so the beneficial bacteria can catch up to the bioload and to research your purchases. Congrats on your addition and good luck.

Re: Howdy
The only way I would remove the bristle worms,is if they got so big they couldnt hide in the rock any more.
But those tenticles could also be brittle starfish,something to think about.

Re: Howdy
I agree with the others, the bristleworms are fine and great cleaners.
I also would skip the hippo tang. They are very delicate and sickly fish. They get ich really easily and will get everyone else in your tank sick. Plus, they would not do well in a tank your size. Clownfish, on the other hand are fine. You could get a pair of your choice. How about some pics of the new additions?

Re: Howdy
No suggestions on fish, but I would suggest you look at this site if you need any help identifying hitch hikers that came with your live rock. There is a section with pictures and names of all the more common hitchhikers found with live rock and live sand. Live Rock - Tampa Bay Saltwater Aquacultured Live Rock
