Are crosshatch triggers reef safe

[marcrothschild]

I am eyeing a crosshatch trigger, I have a 100g SPS dominated tank. He is about 5"....will this guy be safe for my system? I have very few fish, blenny, sailfin, mystery wrass, mandarin, 6 chromis, ocelaris clown.

i dont think they go for corals. ive seen quite a few people have one in their tanks. They do eat inverts tho...

i dont think they eat corals but they might eat your fish if they're small.

Gabriel has 2 in his reef. But he has no small fish.

how small are we talking? would the mystery wrass be toast?

 

[john37]

i think a mystery wrasse is too fast.
i'd say your clowns and mandarin and maybe your blenny might be at risk. but if you keep the crosshatch well fed i think i'd be fine.

Lets just say Gabriels clowns are bigger than my big tangs.

His clowns are like 5 inches big, and has a few chromis that are pretty darn big as well.

How big is your mystery wrasse?

my crosshatches dont pick on the corals or other fish... they are actually a lot of fun...
