In my research on triggers I have read that clown triggers will chew on powerhead wires, or any plastic the can get at in a tank. This months Corals magazine has a huge write up about many different species of triggers and the pros and cons of owning them. The author of the article mentioned keeping them is well worth the trouble at times but he was speaking about blue throats more then the rest. However he made mention that all trigger owners love their fish and they are fun to own.
I have a Picasso trigger and I can't imagine my tank without the little guy. He is always busy digging his tunnel to China under his rock work, and blowing mouthfuls of substrate every where. I don't know a lot about clown triggers since adding one is not an option for me personally. He does chase my sleep goby at time if he gets too close to his underground oasis (I don't know what is down there, but I think it is another world altogether). Other wise he gets along with all my fish and pretty much minds his own business and excavates. He will eat anything I throw in, and is very hardy and ncie to look at.
In my neck of the woods I have only seen larger clown triggers available. They seem to have lots of attitude.
