hello
I just purchased a 3 inch blue throat trigger fish and I had a few questions . I have a 75g tank 4 feel long tank. I have a blue hippo and wovens wrasse around the same size as the trigger. I have good rock work with plenty of caves. We have blue hermit crabs, 5 turbo snails and a cleaner shrimp. We also have 2 frogspawn, 1 torch coral, 1 frag of captain America polyps and 2 small green star polyps frags. I know these guys are fairly peaceful, and reef safe. Has anyone had any bad experiences with them in a tank my size? Any coral nipping or inverts missing? Will I be limited to adding anymore fish? I eventually want a pair of clown fish and 1 or 2 Heniochus. What's the best diet for them, as I have noticed he eats anything I've put in the tank seaweed and mycis shrimp. Any way to make there colors pop? He's a male and fairly pale, I assume it's from stress of being in a new home. Thanks in advance.
 
Eventually the trigger, the hippo, and heniochus will all outgrow a 75g. For the time being it will be fine, but as the fish get bigger, and the space more cramped, aggression will increase. Also, the hermits and snails will be on the menu, and possibly the shrimp too.
