Blue Throat Trigger In Reef Tank?

[Madreefer]

This fish is reef compatible with caution. Has anybody housed one of these in a reef tank? How was it's behavior and how was its with clams and shrimp?

I've had mine for about a month now with no issues. I actually find him to be a more timid fish, but he's one of my faves by far! I'm finding a few snail shells throughout tank but think its my pita coris wrasse eating them! I say go for it!

I have never had any triggers. But this is because I have always been told to kiss any inverts good bye.

Not sure about the clams though.

Nice fish.


Following... Maybe I NEED one too? Lol.

Thanks for the replies. I did some further researching and they all say the same. No problems. I guess i'll go grab the fish and put him in quarantine. It has ick at the moment and I'm pretty sure I will have better success curing the fish as the people that now have the fish.

The blue throat trigger I had in a 125 killed a couple of smaller fish. I would like to have another for my 180 but I like small fish in the tank as well. Each fish has its own personality. Keep an eye on it and let us know how it adjusts to your tank.

My blue throats ate both my two cleaner shrimp and the coral banded shrimp. Add with caution, but unless you feed a lot I would expect some issues.

Mine did really good did eat some snails but left my shimp alone. i had mine for two months a big one two six inch. he went carpet surfing though. was by far my favorite fish. Mine was really shy at first hid lots
