Shark With Triggers

Can a brownbanded bamboo shark get along with 2 niger triggers and 1 humu humu? One of my sources says that triggers will eat the shark's eyes. My other source claims that sharks and triggers exist well (with the exception that the triggers might pick on the shark a few times, but with no harm to the shark).
 
The eyes are more rare cases but it will surely pick at the sharks fins causing infection and most like will the kill the bamboo...The only Trigger I would suggest is a crosshatch!
 
Honestly I've seen angels and butterflies pick on sedentary sharks such as this. Eye loss and fin/body damage is possible. Stress to the shark is more importantly probable.
 
I think ffin nipping will be the biggest factor, but to an acclimating bamboo this may very well kill it.
 
We had a bamboo shark briefly in a tank with a niger trigger and a blueline grouper when I was in college. We had to remove it after less than an hour because it was getting beaten so severely (it was about 3 times the size of the other fish).
