Do you mean Lutjanus sebae?

That fish can get to be around 32" in size. It will prey on smaller fish, so you might need to worry about the angler. Conversely, the angler would be happy to eat the emperor while it's still small.

Picasso triggers can turn mean.

Hmm, tough call. That tank is a nice size for that fish.

Being really, RELLY new to the hobby I am not sure how accurate this is but I was using the chart at Liveaquria.com to see what was and wasn't compatabile. LIke I said I am not sure how accurate it is. Here is a link for the chart itself. Enjoy!

well my LFS snapper is around 3 inches and both my trigger and my angler is 3 inches so would it be ok if all 3 of them be the same size roughly

Probably, although the angler can eat pretty large fish. As the animals get larger, they might get aggressive with each other.
