From what i have heard anything "in" your tank may be fine, but any inverts added after the triggers will be considered food as anything else thats added to the tank.

nope, mine went after anything that was already there, if it was small enough. He tried the snails, but wasn't big enough yet to crack them.

I have one in my fowlr. thinking about putting an auto feeder in there because he is always hungry, and don't want him to go on a homicidal rampage. he didn't touch the cleaner shrimp at first before i removed it, and hasn't touched the snails. he did however want to kill the big hermit i placed in there as a test last night. i need crabs for the cleanup crew, so i'm still thinking what type would suffice. the problem is when they are accustomed to a tank, whatever you add new after that is viewed as an offering!

For triggers I think it is on a case by case situation, I've had a Clown and Picaso along with a Crosshatch live in harmony with my coral and shrimp, crabs and snails in the past. But currently when my tank got wiped out and I started up again and tried to add the same things I had in the prior one, it seemed that all my fish wanted to kill everyone else in the tank. Currently I have a Crosshatch and for the longest time I had a Picaso (which I removed thinking it was picking on some of my fish, which later I found out it was another fish that was the culprit) in my reef tank and they do not harm my coral, shrimps, crabs or snails. When adding new items to my tank I give all my fish a good feeding that night and then add the newbies in about an hour after the tank lights have gone off.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I might be a little worried about the nassarius snails cause they aren't very big, but they only really venture out of the sand at feeding time and at night so they might be okay. I'll keep my eye out for a small niger trigger around town.
