| Never seen one, but trigger fish like picaso, queen, clown and others do feed on corals _________ You can take the man out of the ocean, but you can't take the ocean out of the man! |

| 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 _________ 24G JBJ Nano, 20# Live Sand, 40# Live Rock

| 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. _________ Curt |
