I just can't see a 3 inch trigger getting this guy. Maybe the other way around. The LFS I got him from had pulled him out of all of the tanks throughout the store and put him by himself in the display 150 up front because he kept killing his tankmates. He is a little bigger than a baseball I would guess.

I have one in my Reef. He is one of the most fun things in my tank. I got him when he was very very small. i hand feed him all kinds of things from algae sheets to shrimp clam and silversides. In between feedings he filters my sand and scrapes algae off the glass for me. He has never taken a fish, but he does hate my other hermit crabs.
My cleaner shrimp swipe their tenticles at each other in one looks like sword fights.
When he molts he goes up on my LR and faces away from the tank for a couple of days until he hardens back up.
When i have to pick him up to move him or re arrange the rock in my tank i grab him by his shell and he grabs the rock he is usually on and the rock comes up with him when i move him... i never would have thought they could be that strong to hold on to a rock that weighs atleast 20x more than he does.
Mine is also bigger than my hand ... he will have to go into my other tank soon though because I want to have some coral in my main tank

Never underestimate the power of a trigger remember even at 3 inches you can hear those teeth clik.What happens most of the time when these guys go to change shells eels and triggers will come in and have a free meal.They are a great clean up crew while they last though.
