Triggers found out the hard way

[Mr tap water]

Had four triggers in a mixed reef And other types of fish The triggers I had our Blue Cheek,niger,Picasso, And a pink tail trigger Never touched any Polyps or
Corals Only attacked the hermit crabs
As the fish got bigger the pink tail started to dominate the tank every time you saw the niger He will chase it back into the rocks he would never let swim around them one day the Pintail attacked my Flymo Blenny And took a big bite at the top of his body after that I decided to take it back to the shop after it was gone my Niger trigger and all my other fish came out the rocks and start swimming around normally I thought peace at last but I was wrong I started to introduce a couple of small fish my Niger trigger killed them straight away So here to go back as well now left With
The Picasso Which pics send up in his mouth and Spirits it over the Corlas But Leaves the other fish alone The blue Cheek Just swims around peacefully so low that Pink tell was reef safe As he got older became very aggressive
Had These fish for over two years before the trouble started By the way the blenny survive

First, Let me introduce you to the lowly Period. He looks like this ---> . use him at the end of your sentences and folks may be better able to understand you. :tongue:

Second, triggers are predator fish. they eat fish, crustaceans and other animate aquatic life. failure to keep them very well fed can result in what you have witnessed. how big is your tank?
