    Just added a Coral beauty, and a Pink tail trigger, to my 210 reef.

    I'm hoping the Trigger won't eat my cleaner shrimp, or the smaller fish in the tank.
    I also have hermits, snails, and crabs, so i'm hoping they're left alone, also.
    The trigger is about 4 inches.
    Wish me luck

    Never had a trigger fish. I would love to have a clown.
    I doubt I'll get one though because they're known to eat any crustacean. From what I've heard they're ok until the get a taste for tankmates... then it's all over they'll eat anything.

    I believe the Clowns are one of the more aggressive ones. I had a Niger in my FOWLR, and he was real chill.
    I know i'm gonna hear all the problems i'm gonna have, with putting the Pinktail in my reef. From what i've read, it should be ok, but you never know.

    Good luck with your trigger not picking on your shrimp or hermits... As far as the coral beauty, hopefully you don't have any corals because it will pick at them.

    I don't have many, but i hear they're hit and miss. A few of my friends have them in thier reefs, and they are pretty safe.
