I currently have a orbic batfish and a yellow tang I'm planning on adding a Humu trigger my concern is if it'll pick on them

Absolutely not lol

The recommended tank size for a Humu Trigger is 180 gallons minimum and realistically you most likely need around 250-300 gallons to keep it happy long term without killing other tank mates.

To be honest your tank is too small for the Bat Fish and Tang also .....

Too small for the tang and the bat fish, much less the trigger.

I agree.

The batfish min size is 180 gallons, though I would recommend over 200 gallons.

The Trigger does get rather large and needs plenty of open room for swimming/hunting and will need a steady diet of hard shelled inverts to keep it's teeth in check. I would say at least a 120 at the least for this guy.

Golly time to either upgrade or rehome [emoji53]

That’s a big upgrade. For those 3 fish, you will want a min of 250 gallons. That looks like about $10000 minimum for equipment and tank and stand. Rehoming is a good option
