I just bought a male and female. Any info on them would be great. They would be going in a 220 gal tank. The tank has 3 tangs: Sailfin, purple, Blonde male naso, 7 chromis, 4 anthias, 2 cardnals, 2 maroon clowns, 1 copper band butter fly, 2 pigmy angles, 1 blue gold lined foxsface, 1 red scooter blenny and 1 madren. wow never really counted how many fish I had. Most are small.
Hopefully I did not waste my money. But I wanted different type of fish besides tangs and anthias

wow!
nice collection.
they all get along?

a google search on bluethroat triggers brings up this:

"They should be the last ones introduced to the tank of course. Tangs and Rabbitfish would be ideal companions. Crustaceans, mollusks, and echinoderms will be eaten usually, along with small fish like Chromis. "

everything else says they are rather dosile and easy to care for.

sounds like trouble for the little guys in your tank.
if you're looking to offload them, i might be interested.

good luck!
let's see some pics!

Chromis are not real small. I hope they will not try to eat them. And they will be the last fish in. I would like a Marine Betta but not right now.

Because I have not seen a Hawaiian Cleaner Wrasse either I looked it up. Here's what I found. What did the place you bought it from say it is eating? Sounds like an interesting fish.

"Because the Hawaiian Cleaner Wrasse's diet is mainly derived from its symbiotic relationship with other fish by eating parasites, this Wrasse does not do well in captivity. It is extremely difficult to get this fish to eat any other types of foods, and once the parasite food population is gone it results in poor health, and most likely death for the Wrasse.

Most Wrasses burrow into the sand at night. This species usually forms a balloon-like, mucous cocoon, similar to those formed by Parrotfishes, and spends the night resting within it, but will burrow as well. "
