Clean up crew with triggerfish

[dym]

Hello, I was wondering if its possible to have a clean up crew with any kind of triggerfish. With my heart I really want a humu/picasso triggerfish and I have the needed setup for it, but I'm wondering what I can do for clean up crew I still wanna see some inverts. Is there some species that wont eat them or any method to make them not do it? Like introducing them together. Maybe some fish that can do clean up? Thanks

That's going to be a tall order to fill.

I've kept humus with cucumbers, large snails, and banded coral shrimps. Other cleaner shrimp species might work as well, but I've found predators leave banded coral shrimps alone, not as often the others. The trick with shrimp is to put them in before the trigger, not after.

I've also had larger urchins with smaller triggers, but big triggers I would guess wouldn't fly since it's a natural prey item for them.

"You say 'clean up crew', say 'hors d'oeuvre!'"

Lol.

Dyn,
You are the clean up crew.

While fishing from a work platform in the Gulf of Mexico, I have had a Trigger fish bite me and when I jerked my hand back it ripped flesh. I can only imagine what the other inhabitants feel with Triggers in the tank.

I used to use asterinas, urchins, and cowries with my triggers. Most of my very large turbo snails also were left alone and the cowries normally only came out at night.
