    Dwarf Lion would not be a good fit in my tank right now. I think they are too aggressive, but they are awesome looking fish. I really like the trigger though.

    Zebrasomas like the purple tang may be really aggressive but they usually don't mess with the bigger tangs, and the blue tang already has his territory in the tank.

    ive go a dwarf zebra in my tank and he hasnt bothered anything. they are a PAIN to get on frozen i will say though. i like the foxface a lot too and i believe that was one of your options. if you get the idea i like hardy poisonous fish. have fun

    That is what I thought, but I guess it kind of depends on the disposition of the trigger. It is kind of like a shot in the dark :angry:!

    AHHHHH! I can't make up my mind. Everytime someone puts in their input it makes me want that fish more, and then something else comes up and it makes it tougher.:confused:

    How do the Sargassiums behave in a reef tank? Do they go after snails/crabs/shrimp/urchins/conchs? How about sps or softies?

    I had all kinds of inverts in my tank.. my trigger would let my cleaner shrimp jump right on him and start cleaning away.. I watched in amazment when the shrimp dove elbow deep in its mouth and the trigger didnt bite down on it.. the trigger when he is done with the cleaning would just twitch real fast and the shrimp would go back to the rocks... Keep in mind i am sure not all Triggers would do the same...
