Those two will tear the tank apart, heck one day the tank may be upside down and your house is re-arranged due to them. They wil redo everything.

I cleaned out the grave yard in the corner of my tank yesterday . about once a month I do this . Its a large pile of shells . Snail's, Clam's, Oysters.
Humu humu and bursa are some Wild boys so to speak and will 9 times out of 10 eat anything put in the tank .

Rhinecanthus verrucosus (like this one) or Sufflamen bursa

Oh just little guys . You should be safe for a while . My Humu humu is right about 4 inches and he is just now starting to get cranky about the other fish being in his space .

I don't have a trigger but I know that they EAT

urchins (their main diet) in the wild.

I also have a humu humu trigger-and I also had a fire shrimp and a cleaner shrimp-the trigger and the shrimps did OK together for almost 2 weeks, then one morning I saw a piece of shrimp shell floating in the tank, my trigger ate both of the shrimp for dinner. My trigger is about 1-1/2- 2 inches long. My shrimp were pretty large. He got to them before I could transfer the shrimp to another tank.
