I have a niger trigger for a year and half that is 100% reef safe. Does not touch my clam, shrimp, coral, snails etc...but he eats like a little pig very sweet fish! very gentle and no aggressivity with other fish, even new introduction.

But...there is a but...all fish have their own personality and some other niger trigger are said to take bites out of fish and eat shrimps etc...mine is not like that. When I chose, I chose the gentle fish that are a bit shy and not the bold dominant fish of the tank.

Triggers don't eat corals. They occaisionally move them, but that's it. Some will eat shrimp, some will eat other smaller fish. Nigers are pretty good, as are pinktails. Others can be quite destructive to the tank. As a general rule, triggers with up turned mouths are generally pretty good.

I have a pink tail.. He's really a cool fish. It took him a long time to get comfortable in the tank, but now he eats out of my hand and let's me pet him..

He hasn't bothered anything in the tank so far, other than he likes to toss the smaller corals around when hes hungry, and he gets bored and likes to play with the frag plugs I have all around the edges of the tank.
