I currently have a Humu Humu Trigger fish in my 120g reef with zero problems. I also had a niger trigger which committed suicide not to long ago but had zero issues with him also. I have the humu humu with the following fish/invertibrates: Yellow Tang Scopas Tang Valamingi Tang 6 Chromis 2...

Technically is should be cycled, but to confirm you need to do water tests before putting any livestock in the tank.
