As usual, more questions from a newbie. I have finally introduced some real fish to my 55g FOWLR. I got a huma-huma trigger and a yellow tang. However, I have been told recently by a lfs that my trigger will be very aggressive toward any new fish that I introduce to the tank. My original...

I have cycled my tank with raw shrimp as opposed to the damsels. My tank has been finished cycling for about 1 month now. It has been set up for about 2 1/2 months.

I am a newby with a 55 FOWLR. I introduced my first fish into the tank about 3 weeks ago (4 damsels). My desire is to get a lionfish this weekend. Will the damsels and the Lionfish leave one another alone or should I get rid of the damsels?
