Anybody ever had a Niger trigger that continually kept taking chunks of fins out of other tank mates. My poor lighting maroon and davinci clown keep getting attacked. Think it may be time to rehome him.

That’s not uncommon, what tank size is it?

I would say that removing him is the best bet and treating the other fish is also important

Do the clowns have an anemone? I kept maroons with Nigers, clown triggers etc. hiding spots are important for triggers. The more you give the less they may attack. Also a good sized nem will help your clowns to protect themselves. And a bigger tank may help. Not sure what size you have. My clowns were in a 180 with lots of triggers. Also keeping triggers fed often helps. 3x per day if possible
