I have seen Triggers in many situations kept with other fish. They are only "nasty" towards conspecifics and feeder fish.

Are you looking for a fish that will "rip apart" feeder fish? If that is the case, just about any Cichlid will do. Even a convict attacks relentlessly when given the chance.

If you like saltwater, then I would like to suggest a pufferfish. The freshwater ones also.
Morays have teeth for grabbing, not for tearing, though. They like to swallow their food whole.

Since it feeder fish i think you want it to rip apart then an undulate trigger is probably something to look at. Niger triggers are also pretty cool especially with there small mouths they do alot of ripping. Both will bash things against the rocks to help break things up. Some wrasses will do the same. Tuskfish have cool teeth and will eat small feeders and also tear them up abit. Groupers have really cool teeth but eat alot quicker.
Just be aware except for the grouper they will all eat most things you put in there to help clean the tank to like hermit crabs and snails.

hmmm good point i didnt pay attention to your tank size. A coral cod (miniatus grouper in US i think) will get about 18 inches and take a few years to get there but will probably get to big. Triggerfish are like cichlids sorta while one may let you have tankmates then next will destroy anything that touches the water.
The small mouth triggers are generally more friendly but there are no guarantees.
