Saltwater.com has the most extensive inventory that I have found. If you don't see it, ask chances are they can get it, but they do have a wonderful selection. They also will guarantee your fish during shipment and ship next day FedX
Just an FYI: Most stores buy direct from distributers not from online stores. Most on line stores are not distributers they too buy from distributers since most are also store fronts.
Be careful where you buy from. Be sure they will guarantee shipment and the fish.

Are you setting up another tank???
If not, I think you are pretty much at your limit for a 75 gal tank.

Some of those fish can outgrow the tank you have.
To answer your question though, DON'T buy what you can't see with your own eyes.
You know NOTHING about how the fish are kept.
you don't even know what you're getting.(2" baby powder blue or a 7" to 9" powder blue?????)
You will probably get what they can scoop out of the tank the fastest!!!!

Before you buy fish for a saltwater tank, you should read up on how to set up your tank and care for the fish. And I'm sure you're kidding about buying fish from a web site. Buy them from a local live fish/aquarium store. The store employees will be happy to give you all the pointers and help that you need. Below are a couple of links with information to get you started. Don't make a big investment starting out. Start with a small tank, 10 to 20 gal., and then you can get a bigger tank and more expensive and exotic fish when you become more proficient.

I have purchased saltwater fish from www.liveaquaria.com and www.petsolutions.com and have had good luck with both.
