Skunk Shrimp on tank with 2 triggers and a wrasse..

[siptang]

I have a clown trigger, huma trigger and red corris wrasse in the same tank.
I was contemplating on adding an skunk shrimp in there. What do you think my chances are on keeping him alive?
I would hate to waste $20 on it...

Not very good IMO. The humu I once had just loved to eat shrimps, re-arrange the tank, grunt, and cause all kinds of heck. Your experience might be better, but there's at least 2 fish in your tank I'd not trust with a $20 shrimp.

yea, I love triggers and wrasses but they are a menace to my tank lol.
They knock over rocks,soft corals, kill my clean up crews and grab whole bunch of sand and spit it out from top of the tank making the sand "snow" all over the place making things all white which I HATE.

O yea - I forgot about that "bonus" trigger induced snowstorms that'd last DAYS. Mine was not happy unless he'd TOTALLY buried my galaxea, fungia plate, and pagoda, which I gave up on and moved to a triggerless tank. I kinda wish i could give a humu a lobomoty or "shock treatment" and make more calm, cause they are a very pretty fish - you just gotta have the right tank for them though.

yea... it's in process of burying all my colts and green star polyps and majority of my live rock. Oh I love purple and blue... now it's white... xmas in june in my tank.
I just can't seem to get rid of my triggers though... Triggers have been with me for years and survived 2-3 ick outbreaks and it has been my recently passed son's favorite fish. I swear it was trying to bite his fingers through glass but he didn't know any better just thought it was chasing it and made him happy.
