Remove the lion or find out if it is the trigger or puffer and remove that fish. This is a very hard combo to keep and they must be watched, the only way to prevent this is by not keeping them together.

What kind of trigger?

The trigger & Puffer can pick & harass your lion to death, or the lion may sting one of them and that can also lead to the death of
your trigger or puffer.

I would say the puffer, they are notorious for "fin nipping". I have a niger trigger with my lion and the trigger is actually afraid of it. I think he got stung once, now he cant get out of the lions wway fast enough.

 

[I like Triggers]

triggers are notorious fin nippers too. just as much as puffers i would say
