Clown Trigger
I am setting up a reef aquarium and have really taken a fancy to the clown triggerfish. Used to have one when I was a kid in a FO tank. Is this fish just completely incompatible with reef aquariums, even if kept fed? Thanks

Trigger will tear apart corals, so that's an issue. They also can become very aggressive towards other fish.

Also will eventually eat or kill all tankmates when they mature!

They aren't reef-safe, and require a large tank, at least 135g.

That book is a good investment, in my opinion.

It has a short writeup on a number of fish, including information on compatibility and size of tank required. The author has a lot of good books. I have at least 5 of them.
