I would have to say unfortuntley NO. But if you do add one, I am sure your fish would be happy with you for such a great meal!

the only thing close would be a trochus snail. some of the agressive keepers on the board have them in there tanks, and cowries too. imo though, nothing is safe with triggers w/o a backbone. they are just too smart. bo

The only clean up crew you can get for your tank would be you, you can stir up the sand and clean up the glass, that is the best you can do. Good Luck

I have a fairly aggressive tank with a cowrie and 1 mexican turbo snail. Now the cowrie doesn't do too much--he's a bit lazy! He does though only move at night. Once the lights go off he starts cruising. I'm sure that is due to his tankmates!
The mexican on the other hand does move freely about the tank even during the day. My triggers either haven't noticed him, or are not interested in having him for lunch.
I have never had a trochus snail, but have heard good things about them as far as putting them in aggressive tanks. Good luck!

I've recently added a sea urchin with my puffer and clown trigger. They havent touched it. I tried adding snails.. That was funny, I removed them thirty seconds after adding them.

I know a goby doesn't exactly fall under the cleanup crew catagory but a friend of mine is keeping a diamond goby with his huma with no problems. I'm tempted to try it myself, don't mind scraping glass but I hate cleaning substrate...freaks out the fish

A urchin with a Puff and Trigger that won't last too long. Triggers will blow a Urchin over in order to get to its belly and have a snack. They are known to even burrow thru the sand to get a shot at the Urchin in order to blow it upside down.
