8” is huge! I wouldn’t do it. Aside from the bio load, clown triggers vary a lot in their behavior - some are mild but others are real terrors.

ya for sure, I've had three..... a 6-inch that was cool with all even with corals and clean-up crew... a 3inch or so that would let nothing in with him, killed everything and I got a new one that is tailless that is about 3 inches so far that is cool with everyone except my starry blenny... He chases it and is starting to become a bully but since he has no tail he swims slowly. Everyone can outrun him. So ya never know...

If it were 2" I would add it. But 8" no. From what I have seen at store display tanks and forums I wouldn't. It would make a nice specimen fish though.

If your tank can handle the bioload, if the other fish will allow a new fish into the school, and if your lid opening is big enough then you might be able to pull it off?

Is this from another tank or a wild caught specimen? If it was from a tank, was it traded in because it's aggressive or was it too big for the previous tank, or ?

Sometimes the biggest fishes are sweethearts, they just have big apetites. The pair of clowns or your giant angel fish might not want to have new tankmates.
