Starry Blenny Compatibility

[iceman70]

Has anyone kept a starry blenny with more agressive fish such as triggers? I read that blennys are good algae eaters and was wondering if he might get eaten by my triggers. I have a black Hawaiian trigger, 2 small nigers, and a humu humu trigger in a 125 gallon aquarium.

Don’t depend on the blenny to replace a cuc.

I think it will be fairly safe as long as the triggers aren't large yet. Once the blenny is established, it will be too quick to be trigger food... I think.

That being said, the four triggers, who will all individually arguably outgrow a 125, will probably become a problem in time.
