MY CT likes to take clam shells and bang them against the glass to get my attention to feed him. I wouldn't worry about your glass breaking, mine is 8-9" and he is a brute.

As far as having a cleanup crew......it's not going to happen with the Golden Heart.

Snails and crabs are a natural part of a triggers diet, any cuc you put in will become trigger food.

Nothing to worry about, I doubt there's anything in this hobby that will break through aquarium glass (I've done the Mantis thing). I assume you have a large tank for a Golden Heart. If not, the glass will be the least of your worries. Triggers get real aggressive when they feel cramped.
