[Vince272992]

Hi I am thinking about adding a blue throat triggering my 125 reef and I have right now SPS, LPS, and soft corals as well as anemones, I have 9 fish which are a pair of clowns, yellow tang, royal gramma, algae blenny, mckoskers wrasse, one firefish, one blue green chromis, and a Bangii cardinal, inverts wise, I have a sand sifter star, cleaner shrimp, GBTA, hermits,and snails

So my Q is wht what are the pros and most important the cons of having this fish in a reef like mine....

I have a pair in my 180 and they are probably the 2 most passive fish in the tank. The male also has the most personality out of all my fish. If he sees me near the tank he swims in circles because he thinks he is getting fed. He is my favorite fish in the tank.

My niger trigger eats out of my hand and I can actually pet his sides with my finger. That probably is not very smart on my part. It could easily turn and fit my finger in it's mouth, but doesn't.

Any mature trigger will eat your inverts and smaller fish.

I wouldn't say "any". There could always be a rare case.

Of course. I think that is just assumed when anything is posted regarding our hobby. IMO, 95+% deserves an "any" anytime. I wouldn't be gabbing this long, but its fairly common for hobbyists to grab the isolated exception and do things with predictable results----95+% of the time.
