I co-exist with cows, but that doesn't stop me from eating them...

your menu doesn't relate to this. besides how many live cows are in downtown orlando? or pinellas county or in tampa? very few but we eat them. it's not a trigger tank it is a reef tank under conversion. it's a small trigger and lots of people keep cleaner shrimp with triggers. big triggers. another kind of shrimp I might not recommend but cleaners may or may not work that's why I called it an experiment. there $15-20 at the store so it should be alot cheaper than that from a tank. worth a try. besides every fish needs a good meal once in a while.
Trust me, dont put the shrimp in with either a trigger- any kind, or a wrasse- any larger than 3 inches. They are shrimp killing machines. They arent cleaned by cleaner shrimp and will go right after them. I have put in shrimp and many fish wrasses and triggers especially will go right after them relentlessly-even well fed ones. Triggers will bite divers if they have fish on their belt, I have been bit twice. They really are vicious.

heh, heh, heh....you guys are killing me! Or, is it the shrimp you're killing!!! I like the "experiment" idea. However, as Rob will tell you, I'm very impatient. That being said, I will probably try and catch both the trigger and the wrasse today and take them to my LPS for credit. I like them both very much but like the idea of changing things up which is why I decided to convert to reef in the first place. The trick is to catch them both for one ride to the store!

I already did this experiment because i figured in the wild, some predators wouldn't eat cleaner shrimp (or other cleaning fish/inverts) because they did the predator a favor and would clean them in exchange for their life. So i took a wonton soup pt container, drilled holes in it and stuck a cleaner skunk in it. Oh and i stuck it in my predator tank which had a snowflake eel, voliton lion, niger trigger, a bursa trigger, green wolf eel, list goes on. But anyways, after a few days in the container, nothing seemed to pay too much attention to the shrimp at all. Slowly i began to release the shrimp. the lion didnt pay any attention to it, nor the eels, but as soon as the niger trigger saw the shrimp, he jumped on it like a fat kid on cake. I saved the shrimp before it turned into dinner, and now he lives in a nice 125 reef instead. just thought i'd put in my experience

Yeah... maybe if the shrimp was in there first before any other fish then it might be a possibility. Once it is realeased into the Niger's territory, it is easily mistaken as food. Cleaner wrasses are the best way to go. But hey, if you wanna see if it survives, go for it. It's only 20 bucks.

So your Large Polyp Stony is going to give your credit for the trigger and wrasse eh?
