Do bluethroat triggers bite?

[dru]

I know that bluethroats tend to be less aggressive than other kinds of triggers, but will it try to bite my hand if given the opportunity?

Mine never did when I had them. Every fish is different though.

I’ve got a mated pair, and if I put my hand in they run and hide.

If I put my long handled pincers in to move a rock or coral they attack it.

So if you arm looks like ‘pincers’ best be careful!

I actually see them run and hide. Very shy they can be.

Hah. I've been bitten 20x by mine but only while feeding. Never drew blood. Shy otherwise.
