hey im new to the sw fish hobby. i have a 14 gallon bio cube and am planing to set up a 125 gallon in the fall and i would like to get a clown trigger. do u guys have any idea what can go with them in the tank. i have been talking to my LFS and they say you have to very careful. dos any one have any suggestions.
 
:w to the BRS! :) Good to see you doing some research before purchasing, it is a key to a successful reef! You may want to post your question in Reef Talk, as it will most likely get more views and responses by some reefers who have personal experiences with this particular fish. I have not ever kept one but here is a good site to start with: http://www.marinecenter.com/fish/triggers/clowntrigger/ Having a knowledgeable and helpful LFS is also imperative. Good luck and hope to see you around the forums :)
 
That fish gets big, and of course is aggressive.
I'd think other large pugnacious fish might be compatible - maybe a lion fish? Maybe a big angel (queen or passer angelfish)? Maybe a mean tang - but a 125 is going to run out of room quickly. Maybe a true coris wrasse?
 
Welcome! With a clown trigger you prob won't be able to keep a reef tank because it will eat invertebrates :(
