Bri,
Sorry to hear about your lion and trigger.
I don't know what happen to your trigger or your lion, but it sounds like you enjoy all the intimidating fish with a lot of character and shock factor.

You may want a larger, hardy fish which is easy to feed. Like a freckled hawkfish or a spotted grouper. They are very hardy and bigger so as not to get eaten by your eel. And they are not finicky eaters. Your tank may be a bit small though for the grouper.
