Triggerfish triggering toxic corals?

[PaulPaul01]

Currently, I am keeping a small 1.5 inch Humu Picasso Triggerfish in my 30 gallon. I will definitely give it away in the future once it hits around 3.5 or 4 inches, but until then, I'll be keeping it by itself.

As far as I know, the Humu Picasso Triggerfish is mainly considered reef incompatible is because of the fact that it eats what is considered as the clean up crew, but does not necessarily attack the corals themselves.

I'll be getting Pulsing Xenia and Green Star Polyps. In the extremely slim chance that Picasso will attack the corals themselves, are these two corals capable of releasing toxins that can harm Picasso, or even humans? Thanks you:)

mm.. don't need to worry too much about coral releasing toxins. 

I have a 1 inch crown trigger in my tank. In it's first day in the main tank, fishes tail is in it menu. And all my corals, it will also bite a piece off.

One week in the main tank already still try to get my doctor shrimps.  Below yesterday photo, antenna stuck on it mouth whole day, serve it right. I check my 2 doctor shrimps, lost some of it antenna but body not harmed. Today the antenna at the trigger become thinner and gone.

I noticed that you have zoanthids with your clown trigger, didn't they release toxins when bit by the trigger? Isn't it the toxin that can harm humans?

By the way, nice Clown Trigger bro, but as far as I know they are way more aggressive haha so I stayed away frm them.

Here's my Humu Picasso Trigger

Kept for almost a week already:)

Ya.. my crown trigger is super bad ass. If it cannot leave the 2 doctor shrimps, I might need to remove it when it grow bigger, or put my shrimps in sump.

At least for now, it don't bite my other fish. My leopard wrasse like to poke him, but did not touch, action action. 

mm.. even if paly release toxin, is quickly filtered away ba. How big is your tank?

Seem your Humu Picasso Trigger also aggressive type. But fish has personality. If lucky get a good one, unlucky get a bad ass.

My tank is abt 30 gallons so the Picasso will be by itself. Only tankmates it's getting are the corals haha

Trigger fish introduce as first fish to tank would be the last fish. Any fish you putting in will be killed by it as an intruder.
For smaller tank without sump actually cause more maintenance effort. And the margine for mistake is slimer, resulting in tank crash.
