Can I keep trigger fish with percula clown?

Yes. If the tank is big enough for a trigger, it's big enough for both.

But if trigger is much larger it may get hungry. Budy had a 4-5" Niger trigger that ate a 2.5-3" royal gramma. Triggers are predatory fish and IMO belong only with fish there size that aren't snack size. yea it took him a bit to get it down but he did it, he has pics of it swimming around with the head of the gramma in its mouth.

If you decide to get a trigger to keep with clownfish, go with the blue throats. They are probably the most mellow and are the least likely to attack the clowns. I have a pair of blue throats and and a pair of clowns. The clowns respect the triggers and the triggers leave the clowns alone.
