Blue Throat Trigger in a reef?

[NYBen]

What do you guys think? Any experiences? I've read mostly reef safe, but will eat small inverts. I have a couple of peppermint shrimp (that I could live without), a coral banded shrimp, and a normal reef full of snails and hermits. Also a sea hare and a big bristle star. My LFS has a beauty of a Blue Throat, probably 5...maybe 6", and great color. $80....about right for the size???

Let me know what you guys think.

Risky. The natural tendancy for triggers is to taste everything. Everything.
80 bucks is cheap! But risky nonetheless.

My buddie has a mated pair and he keeps cleaner shrimp with them they are very model citizens.
do you know if it is a male or female?

I'd say female... from pics I've seen of suposed females.

Is there a definitive way of determining sex? I amagine so.... What is it?

well his male has a distinct blue throat while the female doesnt I dont know if this is with all of them but with his it is.
