I am sorry, with that list for a 180 I nothing in which I might suggest to you for as well the trigger and lion is a mix I believe will not survive as well the main problem with your list is the CT.
This is my view to what you are looking into keeping, but I not ever since after my 12th year in this hobby not ever keep triggers with eels.

I really think there are few people that can keep a green moray. I would also can the idea on the trigger. If you get an eel do not get one that is going to be 8 feet long. Get a golden tail they are one of the best looking eels next to a dragon IMO. And they do not get to big.

It wasn't quite 20 in a 200 gal tank but just the same has lost all but one fish I think it was due to problems in which happen has lost a number of fish before.
But just the same if you want to kept triggers mix with eels it is your choice to make, but I wouldn't do it with the goldentail moray with that trigger and a grouper.

I've got a Snow Flake in with: Lion: Puffer: Grouper: Sweet Lips Hrlyquin. He has no trouble fighting for his food jsut like everyone else does, and no one bothers him, Little visciuos, he even grabs the crabs right out of thier shells for a snack.

surfinusa, if you go with the spotted moray, you will in time have the aggressiveness that you want.

Where are on earth did you get that incorrect piece of info?? Lost all but one??...most of my fish were given away when I moved.
I did lose SOME fish, over the lengthy period of time I kept them, but not because I was housing Triggers, Lions and Morays together.
I would NOT, however, recommend housing them together. I did it, but that doesnt mean it'll work out 100% of the time. I had problems and when I saw those problems, they were corrected.
And, surfinusa...just because you see pics of mine, featuring 15 different types of fish, doesnt mean that I had all of those fish at the same, nor did I house them all together, in the same tank.

When you had posted it in grimreefers and you mentioned on how surprised you were that the eels survived, or do you not remember it? For I told you in that thread that I am not surprise that they were well.
These were your exact words:
The DME and Whitemouth seem unaffected, for whatever reason.
As well a good number months before you had a huge lost, I remember those things only not the exact dates but what i see that is funny somehow, you think of yourself better then the other average person to where you are not are that successful for as you said, I know you for a good 2.5 years and three the most and I not see to where you have this fabulous success to which one would have very little to no looses for some number of years. Nevertheless, it will come at some time as well to many who gives it the patients it needs.
I can promise you that I am speaking from the heart on the professional level and nothing else.
I did lose SOME fish, over the lengthy period of time
What I find strange there, you mention I think you got yourself a second octopus once, you been quite silence of it for a good while and I wonder is that.
Right now, you are loosing fish as I did in my first few years, and in my following years, I made some major changes in my methods of bio loads and which species in which to house or not house together. I know long term success when I see it and that it is up to each individual person here in how they believe that they could accomplish it.
Always know something fellow marine hobbyists, Always look closely to whom you take any suggestions from and this includes myself as well for no one in this hobby can ever offer you all the answers to every living marine species. For as well a good many never encounter one another in the wild so unless one really understands the type of aggressive behavior of all marine creatures, how can one make the other person a suggestion or two?
For I heard this not to long ago
search other places to help prove that info. I can sometimes search 2 sites or 10...depends on what I'm looking for.
I never stop at 10 or 1000 for I search on and on as well I keep a record to my findings for which at times one can or could collect conflicting info in which on moray species, happens to often.
For as well, I not one or 10 sites in which I do this, I have hundreds of sites to do my studies and to compare to the info and personal knowledge I have on those species. The thing people, researching goes on and on and you will or might find it that you have to go back to few those you had already done. So in this one needs to keep themselves a record to not go over any old info in which you already viewed.
The best thing for all to do, is first gain yourself much patients, and then research your life away and from much to what I seen at most, if you all took your time to think about what you want and not just a tank loaded with fish, you might surprise yourself in just how successful you could become.

well there are many species of eels than can be kept in a 180 gal tank green moray isnt one of them lol(i dont even think they are sold(these are overly aggressive).as for housing eels with other fish its going to realy depend on the eel itself some are a def no no just isnt going to happen and others are a 50/50 chance depending on its temperment.
id say def no trigger with any eel trigger can be very nippy and the only thing on your list that will be safe from being bit would be your trigger unless your moray ticked him off lol
I have a 2 ft black moray excact species we cant find any info on it. but its a peaceful eel I have it housed with lion puffer grouper ect but i also have a jeweled we recently purchased,and this puppy is going into his own tank very soon before he or my other fish get hurt hes aggresive and likes to nip at my other fish. i suggest doing a google search for maray eels and take a good look at the types that may be housed in this type of tank.alot of eels only reach 2-3 ft and are not as aggressive.good luck and happy reading

Holy Christ, Buddy...please, go take a nap or something.
This thread is about a certain question...not quotes that you pull from a completely different forum.
The guy was specifically mentioning me having 15 fish, in the same tank, consisting of Triggers, Lions, Morays, etc...I was explaining that situation with the fish he was asking about.
And...I still have the octopus...thanks for asking.
Now...back on track...enough of this nonsense.

I've got 2 spotted eels. They aren't even 2' yet and can easily take down a fat, wide, fish that is 6-7". I tested it a few times because I really wanted a set up with fish and an aggressive eel. Their mouths open unbelievable wide. Also, I don't know what the other eels on your list are like since I never owned one, but the spotted eels seem to kill for the fun of it. They went through over 2 dozen 3-4" silversides before I just gave up feeding them for the day. They even killed a huge red general starfish in the tank. I didn't even think they would notice it. All that is left are little pieces of his tips. Maybe if you had enormous fish over a foot in length they would survive. They swim around the tank non-stop though and might stress out the fish.

most of the coolest eels cannot be housed with fish due to aggression unfortunatly even if they cannot eat the fish they will kill them in time.

If you do, make sure you set up a video feed so we can watch the carnage.

I really dont see any harm. If you want the spotted eel go get him but what I think will happen is the eel eating or attacking your fish or the CT attacking your eel.
