Bluethroat, pink tail and crosshatch triggers are the best choices for being reef safe triggers, but the crosshatch costs alot and youll need to glue down frags because all of them will knock small rocks over.

Also by reef safe im only really including corals. Triggers all will go after shrimp and crabs i think.

ok so I will look into the blue throats. Just a little worried my male anthias might be a little aggressive towards him at first... Need to think this through.
Thank you for all of your help.

sounds like a plan to me. if you decide to get one would love to see pictures of course  your set-up tho doesn't sound like it would be a problem, a 120 is nice! |
