Porky Tankmates?

How big is your porky, how big is your tank, and what are his/her tankmates?
Mine is over 7". My tank is 90. His tankmates are a false percula, lawnmower blenny, and assorted cleanup crew.

I just had to give mine up because he was eating the clean-up crew. He was really personable and usually nice to his tankmates, with the exception of emerald crabs and snails. One time he sucked the eyes out of my scooter blenny (subsequently killing him), but I blame myself for not feeding him enough. He was a really interesting fish.
He was about 5" long, in my 75 gallon REEF (he never seemed to bother the corals) and his companions were a small yellow tang, a few damsels, and at one time a humu humu trigger. He seemed to nap a lot and had a little apartment between two rocks. :)

How did your damsels get along with the PP? I have 4 damsels and a lawnmower blenny right now but would like to get a PP, but am slightly worried about a turf war.

I have 2 Porky's in my 240. Tank mates are foxface, lunar wrasse, Snowflake Eel, Fiji Damsel, Whitecheek tang (Until I can catch and remove him), Huma trigger, blue throat trigger, and yellow tang. Also a few big hermits.
Edit: Forgot to say both Porky's are about 4-5". I've had the 1st one since he was about 1.5", and added the 2nd one a few months ago. He was just a little smaller than the one that I already had.
