LA says with caution, a bit more says in an SPS tank they will be fine... You can add it, but use caution, but just in case let the [HASHTAG]#reefsquad[/HASHTAG] help!

I looked it up and it said it was reef safe and won't nip at corals

The blue THROAT trigger it says to use caution, so I guess double check

Same fish, Bluejaw comes from incorrect anatomical understanding of the fish,

 

[Tommy's Reef]

Theyre more safer than any other trigger fish

I have acans, acros. Zoos, shrimps

They might take out your shrimp and other crustaceans, but other than that they're ok for a reef.

I want Him so bad

 

[Tommy's Reef]

Oooo shrimps maybe not!

Even if I feed the tank well

Loose the shrimp they eat food right out the corals mouth anyways

 

[Tommy's Reef]

Unfortunately yes, its their natural diet, hard to persuade them to do otherwise. Cleaner shrimp may be spared, but its hit or miss depending on the personality of the fish.

I have a blood shrimp and a cleaner

 

[renato120]

Well as long He is reef safe. I will take a chance

 

[human]

Its your call, they are a beautiful fish, but I like my inverts too much to get something that could eat them.

Give us an update once he's added!

 

[renato120]

True! But do they eat all inverts? Hermit crabs too?
