I'm back... again. And maybe I'm now becoming more than a nuisance than anything haha.

I wanted my tank to go to more of an aggressive approach, so I bit the bullet and gave my mother the Dragon Goby, Blenny, and all of my crabs so I could go in the direction I want to go.

I still have my Kole Tang, and have been advised by the LFS person who works there it will be quite safe with a Snowflake (he owns an adult one and also has a Kole Tang)

I purchased a juvenile Snowflake who is ~5 inches long but very small and feeding on Ghost Shrimp at the moment.

Here's what I am thinking of placing with it. Would both of these be okay, or should I only pick one or the other. I have a nice protein skimmer and a 30 gallon sump in my tank if it helps.

I believe I remember your tank being a 75, sorry didn't look back at the other threads. I think you could add both of these, but I would only add one because both of these fish are quite aggressive. I would select one of them and maybe ask you mom for the clowns back lol. So my thinking is something smaller with one of these. Compatibility with the other fish should be good either way. Also, with how big snowflakes get, they put a lot of strain on your system biologically with all their wastes. Just another reason to only pick one between the wrasse and trigger.
 
The picasso will outgrow your tank...so just be ready. Sounds like you are gunna need some nice equipment, and some nice water changes...but I think you can do it. :D
