DON'T FOLLOW MY EXAMPLE.... it's a risky combo.
1- Ginormous Clown Trigger.
1- Small Picasso Trigger
1- Small Nurse Shark
1- Huge Volitan Lionfish
1- Sohal Tang just swallowed and digested by:
1- Surprisingly large Tesselata Eel.
I will probably have to do some reorganizing. I have a large Queen Angel on the way. But I need to mull it over because of the others. That's the pain in the keester with aggressive setups. But, it's oh so addictive.

I wanted to get a clown trigger myself but they are so mean. The LFS had a clown trigger that killed three eels! 
Did you get lucky with you clown trigger? Any advice?
I'd love to have a clown trigger (since they are so pretty) but my love of puffers comes first.

ESLOW--
You and me both love the puffers. I have a stars and stripes ordered. A HUGE one.
But, I think I did get lucky with my Clown Trigger. This dang fish is about 10 inches long, about 2 inches wide. I grew him from 7 inches. I got him for 75 bucks when I worked at an LFS. I've had him for about two and a half years now.
He has his moments. Sometimes he swims full blast from one end of the tank to the other... and pushes everything else out of the way.
He has made me bleed before. He knows the taste of blood now.
But, let's see..... he HATES any wrasses. He has killed two Harlequin Tusks smaller than him. And a lunare wrasse. OH MAN... he beat the hell out of that thing before it died. Huge holed in it. It lived under a rock for a month and almost healed but he took care of it when it emerged.
I sump him when I add ANYTHING new. Clowns are my favorite fish ever... so I refuse to not have one.
But, it has just been an expensive trial and error on what I can add with him. He respects my nurse shark so far. I think it's because they don't eat the same food.
My huge Sohal tang that just got devoured by my huge tesselata eel.... they flared up at each other sometimes. But they were pretty cool together. As long as I keep him well fed... he is pretty laid back.
Beware though... they are devious, sly fish. They're smarter than people think.

Juv. Clown Trigger
Juv. Niger Trigger
Juv. Emperor Angel
Juv. Saddle Puffer
small Mandarin Gobie
Plus a couple of hermits
My Clown is probably the most peaceful fish I have ever owned he doesn't bother anyone just plays in the current until it is time for bed or to eat. I just got the Angel, and the puffer today hoping they will do good, and the Niger hides in one little hole in my front piece of live Rock until he decides it is time to come out, the Mandarin does his own litle thing. All in all I think I have a pretty quiet aggressive tank since I traded in my Koran.

HairTrigger, I'm not trying to bust your b@lls, but you need to start doing some reading/research. Triggers, especially larger aggressive ones don't do well with wrasses. Angels, especially large aggressive ones will eat shark cartilage. Ignorance kills. Bo
James, I'd get another snowflake. What happened was a pretty freak occurance. Start feeding with a stick.
