Yes, I used to have a clown trigger in a 90g tank. The trigger lived, thrived, and owned the tank. He made it nearly imposible to keep anything smaller than him in the tank. Eventually the tank consisted of a Antenneta Lionfish, a Clown Trigger, and a large Dragon Wrasse.
The Trigger was constantly moving rockwork, creating a huge mess, and was more trouble than it was worth, IMO.
I would not recommend keeping one in a 65g.
