Adding a juvenile Blue Throat, any suggestions???

He is about 2-3", pretty small. All inhabitants in my tank are relatively peaceful. Singapore angel, flame angel, foxface lo, firefish, chromis, and a valentini puffer. They have been together for quite awhile with no problems other than a chromi going missing last week. (think a condy may have gotten him) Anyway, my last fish to add is a juvenile Blue Throat. I have waited awhile for him and made sure he was my last addition. My tank is a 100g FOWLR with a couple of nems. Oh yeah...I do have a pistol and goby pair. The pistol shrimp very rarely comes out, and if he does he's up in the gobies' @$$. Any advice in regards to acclimating or adding him???
 
i think its a excellent choice! as far as acclimating standard drip and turn off lights until he settles in. these fish tend to hide alot so dont be so concerned at first. good luck.

I would be carefuly with the anemones. Triggers (even the blue throat) tend to get curious.
 
I love blue throats. I've never had one, but always stop to check them out at the LFS. They make a great centerpiece and everyone who sees your tank will be drawn to the trigger. I agree with the above: the nem might get hit and the shrimp too, after the trigger gets used to things in your tank.
