Never seen one, but trigger fish like picaso, queen, clown and others do feed on corals

If memory serves, this bookworm read that this is one of the more reef friendly triggers.

Supposedly they are the more reef friendly planktivores. Wet Web Media has good things to say about them in thier web site. (I have been doing research for when I get a bigger tank, always wanted a trigger.) They say triggers are the most unique from fish to fish, but these tend to be friendlier and reef compatible.

I would hold out for a male though, they have better coloring on the tail and the name sake blue throat coloring. Also, they get pretty big. Make sure your aquarium has enough room.

triggers will be triggers, eventually it'll eat corals, and inverts, and kill other fish for sport because their in it's territory, if you want a trigger tank IMO their best suited for a species tank

Nah

Just like on occasion some non reef-safe triggers are reef-safe, there will be occasions where reef-safe triggers like blue jaws are not. However, for the most part, blue throats or blue jaws are reef safe. I've kept them with corals with no problem.
