I say the smaller the clown trigger the better, mine is 2". I have a 210 gallon and it and my sohal tang are the last inhabitants being added. I haven't had any trouble with mine, as a matter of fact he used to hang out with my two gold stripe maroon clowns all the time before I added the carpet. I say go for it, you never know until you try. GOOD LUCK.

I had one, he was with a puffer and a grouper. He was fine and rarley bothered anyone. the only trouble i had was with a lionfish and he showed it that he did not like him very much, but the lion was my fault cause I should have known it would happen. But mine had a great personality and loved attention. You should definetly get one.

Ive got him in a 240.
his roommates are:
Stonefish
Picasso trigger
Niger trigger
Emperor Snapper
Toadfish
Dejardini Tang
Volitans Lionfish, I know very risky.
Jeweled Moray
Fimbriated Moray
So far they all get along but I do know that something may flip out at some point. My triggers are by far the smallest fish in my tank so I'm hoping that helps. I do also keep them well fed to help keep down aggression levels.

A friend of mine who's a show judge had a clown Trigger for over 10 years. One day he dropped something in the tank and reached in for it. The Clown took one bite right through his arm. He kinda lucked out because it missed the tendons and mostly just got the bone. He had rods put in to replace the bone and still has full use of his hand.

haha what the hell?
If a clown trigger can do that than what can a Titan trigger do.
they grow up to 30 inches!
Known scientifically as Balistoides Viridescens, these solitary creatures have been known to attack divers and inflict serious injury. Luckier divers return with holes in their fins (the fish seems attracted to colourful fins, which actually reduces the risk of personal injury) while more misfortunate divers have been knocked out cold or suffered from bite wounds requiring medical attention.
I think I am about to get one of these in his own tank with some nice rock work. :thinking:
heres video of them

As most have been saying, the smaller the clown trig, the better. Introducing too large a specimen is no good =(. It's also a good idea if he is in an already established tank as he has not had a chance to be territorial. Of all saltwater fish, the clown trigger is my fav (see profile) It was my prized fish, only picked on certain few fish. he lived for quite a while. he was about 4 inches when i had him but unfortunately he limited what i could put in the tank. So remember, you limit yourself on other species somewhat if/when you get one.
