Blue Jaw Trigger

Are these fish reef safe? A LFS has one and the book they looked in said these were one of the triggers that is reef safe. Does anyone have 1 in their reef?

I have one... but he's in in my Fish only tank they are the milder Triggers.. they say that they are reef safe.. but i havent known anyone with one in their tank.. i have him in with a pinktail Trigger.. and they get along great.

Might have to tell the wife that's what I want for my B-day today then.

I've got 2 in my reef... the only thing at risk are ornamental shrimp, and in my research I never heard of a first hand account of one going after a shrimp. I'd say get it if you've got the space.

i have a decent sized one in my tank. does not bother anything. is a bit shy at feeding time so that is pretty annoying. i have to overfeed the flagtails in order to get them out of the way so the trigger can have its krill.

i didnt like my bluejaw......love my niger. Hes prettier and WAY, WAY more social.

to be sure, I only have experience with the one of each so YMMV
