Purple reef lobsters???

[red crab]

Hi every one,
Looking to take advantage of that pet places sale on inverts and buy a purple reef lobster! I want to know if i could keep any triggers with it? Or if i should get a dif lobster or not a lobster at all! The painted lobster is awesome but a little to big 4 a 55? right?
Thanx Red crab,

If you keep non-planktonic feeding triggers, any ornamental crustaceans you keep will become food.

Every trigger not in the Xanthichthys genus. Unfortunately these Xanthichthys triggers are too active/large for a 55gal.

Planktonic-feeding triggers include the genera Xanthichtys, Odonus, and Melicthys.
