Question Grouper and Trigger togther, What Else

Hello, I have a 5 inch Panther, 7 inch Coral Grouper, a 4 inch Humu Trigger, 3 inch Spotted Hawkfish, and 4 inch Seabass togther. I just had to get rid of my Panther grouper today because the Coral Grouper was killing him and he has made the hawkfish and the bass stay in the live rock at all times. Before I added the Coral Grouper everything was getting along fine!! The humu and the Coral Grouper get along fine and Im not going to get rid of them. What else could I put in there that would hold thier own against the two. Maybe a Puffer, Lionfish. Any help will be much appreciated!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Alot

There isn't a whole lot out there that will mess with a Lionfish. Although a 3" Hawkfish might be lunch for a larger one. Also, they are quite dirty and put a big load on the tank. Make sure you have enough filtration and are not over crowding the tank. How big is your tank?
