Which one is more aggressive? Triggger or Grouper?
I heard Minituas Grouper and Queen triggers are really
aggressive
Can Triggers and groupers can be placed with sharks
and sting rays?

Sure they can...public aquariums do it all the time.
In all but the largest home tank though, I can't see why anyone would want to, except to throw away money and perhaps be cruel to animals.

If you want to know what is meaner, It depends on the fish. Groupers are designed to catch and swallow prey whole. Triggers by design are designed to tear small mouth sized pieces of the prey item and eaten that way. So I would say triggers are meaner . I personaly would never put triggers & sharks and stingrays together. The trigger is more than likely to start picking at them. The stress is not good for the sharks or rays.

I had a miniata grouper and a clown trigger together and the clown picked on the group 24/7.... The grouper was previously in a tank with my banded cat and they were fine together... but triggers will pick on the sharks

Don't ake this wrong, as I like triggers, but all but the milder pelagic forms (sargassum, crosshatch,pinktail) will pick on rocks!!!
