I am setting up a small tank in my office, just a 10g. I have a 75g reef at home, and I've always been interested in puffers and triggers that don't work in my reef. Are there any puffers or triggers that stay small enough to be relatively happy in a 10g? What about in a 20-high (I might be persuaded to go with the 20 if I can get more interesting fish).
At this point, I'm thinking about LS, few pieces of LR, maybe a goby/blenny... and a few other fish (hopefully something that won't work in my reef).
Thanks in advance.

yeah no trigger/puffer, esp. for a 10 g. if you got a 20, MAYBE, but doubtfully, you could keep a valentini as the sole fish in there. but for cool fish for a 10 g, my suggestion would be a six line wrasse, a neon goby , and some hermits/shrimp. other fish are clowns, cherub pygmy angel, other gobies/blennies, damsels, etc. good luck on your new tank, im pondering what to put in my 20g. bo

Go for a 20 gallon. My sister used to own a 10 gallon with a maroon clown in it (his name is BARNABY). And guess what? Barnaby was miserable. Untill they got their 29 gallon and you could definently tell he was happier. So to make a long story short don't use a 10 gallon unless you plan on sticking with really small fish. For this, i recomend damsels, but that's just me.
Remember: 20 GALLON!!! ;)
