Re: triggers

Maybe in a big enough tank... But it's not a common thing to do.

Re: triggers

Beware the butterflys JCE.A lot of those specialize in feeding on coral polyps.

Re: triggers

Not from experience, but from what I have read the clown trigger will grow up one day and will begin to get rid of the other tank mates. Love the clowns and the huma huma's though. I just wouldnt put them together.
It does look like they are being fed well though.
