Experience with Blue throat Triggers in a reef?

[mil hse]

So i ve read a little bit about these and i was wonder what your guys experience has been with them? I just picked up a pair, yes they are in my 65 reef but they will be in my 240 in less than a year (if they behave) if not i might set up a FOWLR. But i just wanted to hear from all of you? Any tips will be gladly appreciated

Thanks

Give it a shot, shouldnt have a problem rehoming if he does nip

Try to get a younger one and keep them happily fed and you should be ok

Mine is awesome in my reef tank. He eats out of my hand and allows me to rub him. I do have to nudge him away at feeding time occasionally.

blue throat triggers are some of the easiest to keep in reef according to a large poll/topic i read through recently on my local forum

I ve read and heard there are pretty easy... guess ill see

I had a 4" male for a while and he didn't bother my snails, cleaner shrimp, CBS, hermits, clam or corals. Awesome fish.

Had one in the past, in my old 100g SPS Dominant Reef. He was a complete, model citizen. He too allowed me to hand feed him. Swims up and down, in and out...very entertaining fish!

I would love to add one of these as a last fish but hear they can be jumpers. I know all fish "can" jump but heard these do most of the time. Is this true? Any experiences?

Yes i have hear they are jumpers, but then again alot of fish we try to keep are jumpers. I have seen my female, but can not find my male. Im sure he ll show up in a day or so. i ve been looking behind my tank and in my sump just in case... Im sure he ll show up.
