I just placed him in after acclimating him, however my 3.5" picasso is following it biting him, this picasso has nearly killed a 4" melanurus wrasse before... but has lived with a coral beauty a year and a half ago in the same tank size with the previous owner.

Its a 125 fowlr with:

7" foxface
4" blue hippo
4" sailfin tang
3.5" niger triggerfish
3.5" picasso triggerfish

What do you think? Many people told me they WILL get along

The stress from aggression can harm a new fish in the tank. Is there ample rock space for the CB to hide if needed? Acclimation box maybe?
A few spots yes, no acclimation box, its lights out rn, if in the morning hes almost dead i will transfer him to my 55

You must use acclimatization box or better divider and keep for days.

Remove Picasso ... my take, 125g is not big enough for Picasso and CB is so beautiful.. the guy attacked Mel ...

But whats up with this triggerfish though? Why is it a serial killer?? I cant wait til that niger triggerfish outgrows him and kick its little ***
I don't know much about them as I only deal with reef safe fish but I'm sure someone will chime in that has kept them previously. I have a CB in my tank who has had no issues with any fish.

Picasso triggers ate ultra agrressive. They bite me snorkling in Hawaii. He may tolerate his tank mates in there but any new additions will be killed. A coral beauty is way to delicate for that fish.
