Do you already have the clown trigger? If so what size is he? As clown trigger get bigger they get pretty aggressive. I've seeen some that where so aggressive that you wouldn't dare stick your hand in the tank with them in there.

STOP
yes big fish are cool, but you got a 60gal.
try and get fish that will do well in your size aquarium
flame angel, royal gramma, sixline, and others.....
smaller fish are better for you

yes alot of big fish need big tanks but there are also big fish that do little moving and dont require big tanks like the undulate triggerfish can get up to 10 in and only requires a 55 gal, the picasso triggerfish can get up to 9 in and only requires 55 gal, and he scimitar triggerfish can get up to 9 in and only requires 55 gal.
Now i not saying you would want to put this many big fish together i was simply naming some bigger fish that can if in smaller tanks they are all pretty colorful to.
no matter what your always going to get different tank suggestions from different people but the fish i listed should be just fine in the tank sizes i listed.
Make note none of these fish are reef safe and if your interseted in small fish i wouldnt mix them.
The best answer to any question though is good hard research
