Predatory Fish Perfect for a 55 gal Marine Tank

[RobD23]

Hey guys I was just wondering if you can give me some suggestions on which fish i can put in my 55 gal tank that is currently cycling. I want only predatory fish

like 1 BIG(ish) predatory fish like a dwarf lion, or preadatory just meaning carnivorous?
for the big, any kind of darf lion, marine bettas, snowflake eel, chain eel, stone fish, anglers, frogfish, or small puffers and tobies.
for just carnivorous:
hawkfish, hogfish, smaller wrasses, squirrelfish, smaller goatfish,

i want like two or three fish in the tank not just one...I want a black hawaiian trigger they get to about 10''.......but i don't know if my live rock will allow for a fish that big

a 55 gal tank, is too small for any trigger,

a dwarf lion would be a better choice

if you dig the puffer/ trigger scene, then for this tank i would recomend tobies/filefish. they stay smaller then triggers and puffers.

ya i'm thinking a valentini puffer with a black hawaiian trigger because that guy only gets to about 10'' and if i notice it's not working i'll get rid of him...Maybe a longnose hawkfish as well

I think Squirrel fish are probably too big for a 55.
