    Hi there,
    to start, I have a 55g reef. My current fish is just a Niger Trigger. He is doing great and hasn't bothered any corals or inverts. He seems very peaceful and reef safe. What do you think about me adding 2 Ocellaris Clownfish? That will be all of the fish I would stock. Or...should I go with maybe 1 larger fish, like a Tang, Foxface, or Snowflake Eel?

    You may wish to consider a Tang or Lawnmower Benny to assist with algae control. We have also observed our Koran Angle constantly grazing the rock work...

    I added two oc. clowns after i had my pink tail trigger established in the tank and he did not bother them. you should be fine unless the trigger is very territorial or aggressive.
