Huma Picasso Trigger Crazy question (I Know)

[junya13]

My wife has her heart set on getting a Huma Picasso but I want a reef tank.. I'm not going all out reef but I do want brains, anemones, and some others.I want to put tangs, small angels, and a few other reef safe fish. I know this is a far stretch, but if it was the last fish in the tank and it was a small baby one. What are the chances for this to work

The corals, not fish, will be what it bothers The most

Yea i figured that.. But would it just be a buffet for the trigger

A huma will wreck most lps, shrooms and polyps. Its part of there nature and there's no breaking them of that. There are a couple safer triggers, like a Niger, cross-hatch, or blue throat, but you'll always run into the problem that they will out compete any of the more docile reef fish for food.

I once had a med-sized Picasso Trigger in a fish only tank. I loved it until it ate $175 worth of fish. It took me months to catch that fish and I traded it for some store credit at a LFS.
