I woke up this morning and both my anthias and gobby looked mauled... the only other fish besides my trigger is a flame angel and small damsel and he seems passive during the day,,, I took the trigger out today, prob going to rehome in anyways bc my tank size is to small. but Im just wondering if that's what killed them
 
also should add when I went to bed last night both of the smaller fish were completely fine and acting normal, all levels in tank are normal as well
 
What kind of trigger fish is it? How big? Some are better than others, but all are listed as "with caution" in regards to their compatibility with other tank mates (invertebrates, fish, corals, etc)
 
Not sure but here’s a pic. He’s not very big but he’s a prick

My huma loved to beat up & take out chunks from smaller fish .

Picasso trigger is gorgeous but it's a killer, specially with smaller fish.
