    I was wondering how a Humu Picasso trigger would do in my tank. I have a coral beauty angel about 3.5 in and a dwarf angle about 2 in and a lawn mower bleny about 4 in. I also have some assorted soft corals. But my question is that I have seen people keep these fish with corals and similar fish but I just want to be sure I have a 75 gallon tank. I was also thinking if I get him small he won't think he is boss an wont pick on anyone. Any help is appreciated.

    A 75 gallon tank isn't large enough for a picasso trigger, IMO

    The lawnmower blenny will be trigger food as soon as the trigger gets big enough. The rest are fast enough to get away, probably.. Your hermits and snails will start disappearing along with any crabs or shrimp you may have. I have heard that large mexican snails are ok. Many people are able to keep triggers in reefs. From what I understand, triggers prefer meaty food and corals are last resort.

    Hope this helps.
