I have a 125 gal, right now it does not have any live stock in it. I would like to stock it with 2 snowflake eels, 1 naso tang, 1 trigger. I just cant decide what trigger to get. I really like the clown and humu triggers. I have heard the clown can be very mean. I have not heard much about the humu. What do you think. Also what kind of other creatures can i get with them like crabs, snails, starfish,etc?

Well I have a clown and huma huma and for right now the huma is the bully of the two. That may change but right now the smaller huma is meaner.

I have two triggers a clown and a niger, and the clown is the least agressive of the two, the best looking and has the coolest personality.

I would say a Niger might be your best bet because naso tangs are very docile would want anything to happen to him or her.

I would agree with the Niger trigger, I have a Niger and a Huma Huma Triger. The Huma Huma is a little more aggressive, the riger is more doscile. I have noticed that the aggression comes out at feeding time. The rest of the time they get along. My trigger fish are abouth 2" big.

I would say to get a naso tang established in the tank first, and then when it comes time to get a trigger, either go with the niger, blue throat, or humu if it really comes down to a decision between a clown and a humu.
Depending on the personality of the trigger and the trigger you choose, you may get away with snails and hermits, but I would not try a starfish. That's a bit risky.
