    Should I put a 6 inch Volitan Lion in with a Clown Trigger??

    I have a 400 gallon salt water tank with a 6 inch clown trigger and a picasso trigger (7"). Also a few other aggressive fish (minatus grouper 7 inch)

    Anyone have experience with clown triggers and lions??

    "I have had a Passer Angelfish (Holacanthus passer) nip the dorsal spines off a Spotfin Lionfish; a Clown Triggerfish (Balistoides conspicillum) kill a Volitans Lionfish;..."
