Well, against my better judgement I brought home a Blue Chin Trigger. My wife has been wanting a trigger for some time and seeing as she puts up with a lot of my bull**** (like spraying her with return line gunk), I finally relented. Hopefully I got lucky and he's a mild-mannered guy. He certainly is handsome, I'll give him that. He's about 7 inches long and currently living in the QT.

What a great looking fish! Also I really like the photo of the CBB.

"Sigh"..... She's named him already.....
His favourite food is shrimp and his lower lip sticks out so we have to be call him "Bubba Gump" Why do women feel the need to name every fish?

The only shrimp he'll be getting is the "dead" variety. He's still pretty shy, hides out in the rocks when I approach the tank; but throw in a small prawn and he's out of the rocks in a nano-second. So far he's eaten everything I've given him: Flakes, shrimp, clam, mysis, pellets and nori.

I thought bluethroat triggers were water column feeders? In terms of "reef safe" triggers, I always heard it was the bluethroats, crosshatch, sargassum, and ... um .. I forget what the 4th one is offhand... pinktail maybe?

You're right Tony. Bluethroats are zooplankton feeders, but I've done quite a bit of reading on them and although mostly reef safe you have to make sure you keep them well fed or they may sample your crabs, snails and shrimp.

I'm mostly concerned with how he's going to get along with the Harlequin Tuskfish. The Tusk is fine with the other fishes in the tank, but goes ballistic when anything new is added. He tore a huge strip of flesh off the Kole tang when it was added. After a few attacks though it settles down.
The trigger is larger than the Tusk though so I'm hoping there won't be a problem.
