Tesselata is bad idea, they don't play well with others..tankmates will be eaten or killed
Tesselata will outgrow a 180. Believe me, mines pushing 5 feet now and now lives with my cousin in a 500 gal cube tank. If you really want a moray with some of the fish you've suggested. You would be better off with a snowflake. Iv kept volitans and puffers with my morays before, and ended up having to seperate them into different tanks. Which required buying a whole new setup.

Agreed, puffers and triggers are known fin nippers. Even the morays might get the odd bite mark on the tip of their tails. I personaly wouldnt mix a puffer and trigger with stingrays. Too risky for injury or worse with such nice and expensive fish.
I din't really read the thread at all just so that last post, but if you are trying to surround the tank for the sting ray (Like I would do if i had a larger tank, cause I likes sting rays)
You should check posts already made about sting ray tank mates (members post these a lot) so hopefully thier is one hiding in the search box.
Most likely it will be fish that are large and known to be docile

triggers are nasty buggers. if your dead set on that trigger it could get rough. i would look at the more docile triggers like the blue jaws, nigers, crosshatch($$$). i had a blue jaw in with my puffers, lion and eels and he did awesome. he died when i moved. snowflake eels, occulted morays, chain links eels are your best bet. I've kept all three with no problems. currently my SF and CL eels share a den and seem to hunt together. my porcupine puffer and stars and stripes puffer live fine with my lion, the SS puff actually sleeps under the lion. so its possible. they've all been living together for almost 3 years. the SS puff is new but he fits in well. the other inhabitants in the tank are rescue fish, the "half" of a remora shark. a tessalata eel at the LFS bit about a 3rd of it off and he lived so i brought him home. he eats like a pig. and then a tailless panther grouper. but my tank is overstocked but well filtered and they all get along great.
At my LFS they have a humu Picasso trigger, a lion, and a porcupine puffer in the same tank. Thats why i am confused. They say that the fish are fine together. Im torn...

triggers are just unpredictable, they can be fine forever and then just snap. if i were to do it i would get the puffer and lion first and then 6 months later add the trigger
I've kept a porcupine puffer with a volitan lion before my tank crashed. The only time I saw the puffer nip the lion was because the lion tried to eat the puffer (even though they were both the same size, talk about a big appetite.) when I barely added the puffer. I think if you train the puffer to know you are the food giver it'll not be so curious. Mine was almost trained to follow me when it was hungry. So I guess it's more on the personality cause I've seen lfs with puffers and lions or triggers and lions and they had no bite marks or deaths.
