In my experience since the coloring on the two triggers is so different, they should be fine. My humu was in the tank first, and we got a clown trigger that was about the same size and they were fine.
The rules of our tank for triggers:
If they're the same size/shape, must be way different in colors
If they're different sizes watch the bigger one closely and make sure the smaller one eats.
If one is more aggressive than the other, take the aggressive one out (for at least a day) and put him in later. That way his dominance is no longer established.
We've always have had an aggressive humu but ass long as the more timid fish are in first they're fine. As for the other inhabitants in your tank I'd say it depends on their size.
It can be done though!!!

It's also not big enough for the Porc. you have in there.

That doesn't mean you are right. There's a lot of people out there that put them in 55 gallons+ and still have thriving awsome tanks so what you are saying is all opinion. There's no right answer. Obviously you could never put like a queen trigger, an undulate trigger or a clown trigger in a 55, 75 or 90 gallon. Those guys require much bigger tanks but a niger IMO would be fine in a 75.

you can't have a clown trigger in a 72 gallon tank.
you are probably fully stocked, and two fish of any kind will make you overstocked.

thewilsons, you shouldn't have a clown trigger in any of your size of tanks.

He never wanted a clown trigger. Where did you get that from. I was was just saying he could never have a clown trigger but something like a humu humu or a niger.

and he should probably not add any fish at all. the puffer shoudn't be in there in the first place. but, you're right. its always up to him.

NEver add a clown trigger in a 75 gallon especially when it already has a big bioload. I already said like 4 times that you could never add a clown trigger.
I did say you could add one of the more peaceful species though like a niger or a humu humu but never a clown.
I don't want to start an argument so I am done.

maroon clown
coral beauty
porcupine puffer

i was saying that adding any more fish to the tank, especially a clown trigger that wouldn't fit in there anyway, was a bad idea.
