Is there anyone here who has a undulate trigger fish mixed in with other fish besides just trigger fish. I would love to keep one in a 150 gallon with a maculosus angelfish and a dogface puffer and a passers angelfish,anyone here have any experience keeping one mixed in with other fellow tankmates.

I think gangstafish might be the one to help you there. I know he has triggers but I can't remember which.
I can't help, I've only got a pinktailed trigger in my reef tank. All I know about Undulates is that they're best kept in a tank on their own. But that is only from what I've read and not from experience.

I kept an Undulated with 5 other triggers in a 135 for awhile. It turned out to be a bad move. Every fish has its own personality but every Undulated I've ever had or sold has had a particularly bad personality. I took mine back to my shop and kept him by himself. He would let me pick him up by hand but anything else that went in his tank was fair game. BTW, picking up large triggers by hand is also not recommended.
Undulateds will eventually turn on EVERYTHING, including other Triggers. Between the Undulateds, Queens and Titans, those are the 3 most aggressive triggers. So Undulateds will do best in a species only tank (can't have other Undulates either) and if you want to try a couple of Damsels and see how long they last, but other than that they will eventually turn on everything, often turn on ornmanents in the tank including heater cords, the glass surrounding the heater, rocks, plants, etc. They can be rather fun and rather destructive to keep 
! Best left for a species tank imo!

I've never kept a Titan before but have had both Undulateds and Queens and I couldn't agree more.
