hello
I just purchased a 3 inch blue throat trigger fish and I had a few questions . I have a 75g tank 4 feel long tank. I have a blue hippo and wovens wrasse around the same size as the trigger. I have good rock work with plenty of caves. We have blue hermit crabs, 5 turbo snails and a cleaner shrimp. We also have 2 frogspawn, 1 torch coral, 1 frag of captain America polyps and 2 small green star polyps frags. I know these guys are fairly peaceful, and reef safe. Has anyone had any bad experiences with them in a tank my size? Any coral nipping or inverts missing? Will I be limited to adding anymore fish? I eventually want a pair of clown fish and 1 or 2 Heniochus. What's the best diet for them, as I notice he it's anything . Any way to make there colors pop? He's a male and fairly pale, I assume it's from stress of being in a new home. Thanks in advance.
 
sorry, but the trigger and hippo do not belong in your tank. especially the tang which needs an 8' tank. the trigger shouldn't bother coral, but may destroy your cuc. they usually get very aggressive. Heniochus get to 8" and only one species is reef safe. for what you want, you need a much larger tank.
