A humu humu trigger with a porcupine puffer. Will it work? I'm having doubts since triggers are usually really nasty. 
Compatability?

Depends on the Huma, some Huma's are really nice but others not so much 
. Generally Puffers and Triggers can be risky due to the puffers resting habits and they blend in with the live rock when they do but I know of lots of people that keep them together. I guess you could always try it and see what happens but have another tank in case the Trigger doesn't like his new roomie . Anyway hope this helps and good luck!

I didn't really want to risk it. I'm just having a hard time deciding between the two :sad:
Thanks a lot for the help!

wow this post takes me back a ways - when i first switched to saltwater i had that exact setup (picaso trigger and porcupine puffer) for about six months. I had no problems - none whatsoever. One thing could have played into it was the porcupine was about the size of of my balled up fist and the trigger was about 1/8 his size but they got along fine together in a 37. Also my porcupine was extremely docile.
thats all i got, good luck i'd say go for it.

ps one thing that was really annoying to me was i had to feed two different types of food, brine for the trigger and krill for the puff , neither would even look at the others food. kinda strange

You can try them, the problem will come as the Trigger matures/gets larger. Then they get more aggressive...anyway hope this helps and good luck!
Yes. I've seen some pretty nasty triggers working at a fish store. I understand the risks and am prepared to take back one of them if anything like that occurs. I might have to anyways since the puffer gets pretty large
