DanReefMan Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I have a pink tail trigger in one of my tanks and I was considering introducing him into a 120g reef tank. I was told that they are usually reef safe. I was wondering if anybody has any first hand experience...... Thanxs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesL Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I would be leary of triggers in a reef tank as most triggers like to move rocks around. So it might try moving corals or causing a rock slide if things are not stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb in Austin Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 It's my understanding that pink tails and blue throats are generally considered reef safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mFrame Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Reef-safe, but says that they'll eat crustaceans and smaller fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 No first hand experience with a Pink Tail, but I have had 2 different Niger Triggers and a Blue Throat in my reef tank without any real issues. HTH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanReefMan Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 Thank you guys for your feedback.... I have heard alot of good things about blue throat triggers. I think I'll keep him in the fish only tank and look for a blue throat.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
