Does any one know if there are any mushrooms that triggers wouldn't bother? Or Porc. puffer?

Did you have mushrooms in with them? Will they bother anemones?

Humas can, and just might, eat anything. Mine bit the end off my floating glass hydrometer. He spit out the lead pellets but he really liked the glass. You should see them eat a long spine urchin. They lay on their side next to it and blow water under it to flip it over. What a smart fishy.

I just dropped in a 5" Humu, tonight, into my 100gal. Rubbermaid which also contains 5 - 6 large frags of mushrooms, zoos and a few stony corals (Fire Coral and Orange Montipora).
This guy was so aggressive, he was attacking the Mag-Float, while I was working at the store today.
Give me a few days and I'll let ya know if mine eats the corals. lol!

Mine is only about 2 1/2 ", very shy, leaves other fish alone. Hopefully he will stay his sweet self.....he is one of my favorite fish so far.

Triggers can be very aggressive with just about anything. Had a Huma that was about 3 inches long that 'tested' everything with its 'beak'. Glass, tubing, and even a dog face puffer 3-4x his size. He beat the Puffer up badly (fortunately he survived and is going OK now) I had to pull him out of the display. Only thing he can live with is a Foxface..guess he respects the 'spines'. Needless to say, I'm avoiding the trigger family.

He was only 3" when he killed my prize winning 15" long, 18" finspan Red Sea Volitan. One strategic bite in the throat. My avatar is his baby picture from his first show. Needless to say I took the Huma back to work.

You guys have me very nervous now about mine....he is not aggressive at all..so far. Will keep my fingers, toes, eyes, and anything else that will cross, crossed that he will stay a good boy.
