tank mate for undulated trigger
 
I have a 100gal, with tonga branch and substrate that houses a 5in undulated trigger.
what type of wrasse ( around 7in in size) would go with this female trigger?

None in my opinion.

A nice big Rock!

They don't tend to play nice, but if you want a Lunar wrasse maybe?

I know of some lunar wrasse that might be able to hold their own, how long has the trigger been kept isolated?

If that undulated is alone in that tank, he's going to be hard-pressed to let anyone else in there.

As for a wrasse, a sensible choice would be the lunar due to it's speed and activity level. That's not saying it won't be stressed if the undulated decided to chase it relentlessly.

I work at a LFS, and we've had a 4" undulated trigger brought back 4 times already due to agressiveness. Just thought I should let ya know. :)

How long has the undulated been in there. If he has been in the tank a couple months he probably thinks that tank is his. What you could try is to add 3 fish at once. That's what I do. Spreads out the hostility. Maybe try a lunar wrasse, a grouper, and a puffer. All will be pretty capable of a good defense.
