Eels and triggers

[Jmas4]

Due to my mother forcing me get rid of a tank. I have to move my fish to my reef tank.
Here's the questions.

1 Can a niger and picasso trigger be ok with corals. Softy LPS and SPS. If they dont I got to sell my coral :(

2Can a niger trigger, picasso trigger and eel live with these- 2 large starfish and a long spine urchin. I know shrimps and crabs won't live.

3 Will a niger trigger, picasso trigger and eel about 18-22 inches long bother my 3 inch mandarin dragonet. I thought the dragonet produces a smelly and untasty slime that makes fish not go near it.

4 I have a 3.5 inches ywg that I'll have to move to my biocube. I have a 2.5 inch randalls goby in the biocube already. The ywg head is 3 times as wide as my randalls goby. I know gobys are relatively peaceful but will my ywg eat my randalls goby?

Thanks for the help.

1) it's a risk but you may be fine, the Picasso is more worrisome than the niger

2) starfish are at a risk, and eel will typically eat anything they can fit in their mouth. Can it work? Perhaps.

3) If if fits in the eels mouth it's not safe. I would worry about the Picasso with a dragonet as well.

4) your YWG will also eat anything that fits in its mouth, or at a bare minimum with that size difference it is likely to kill the other goby. On the other hand they may be different enough that they steer clear and get along. I still argue a YWG that large will eat anything that fits.

I know there's not a definitive answer to anything above but it's all a risk, in short.

as long as you keep the eel fed well and with what he likes to eat and attention to the huma with his food they should be fine
sometimes going to a new tank keeps them in check . Who knows they might even leave your inverts alone

What kind of eel and how big is the tank. Picasso(pointy face triggers) are more apt to be munching on cuc, starfish, urchins, and even corals. The niger will be a risk, but possible; I wouldn't do it though. I've seen triggers live in reef tanks for a couple of years with no issue and then go ballistic. Any smaller more peaceful fish is really not a good idea with any trigger.

Ywg can be mean or wussy, I had a wussy one and he was afraid of his own shadow. I think the pistol shrimp guarded him, instead of the other way around. But 2 gobies in a 29g may not be the best bet.

It is a snowflake eel. They live in a 125 gallon fowlr and is moving to a 125 gallon reef. I wouldn't call my ywg wussy or agressive. He just sticks his head out of his hole and doesn't attack anything. He only runs away of I put my head to close
