Niger Trigger?

[RWillieK]

I am looking for another "larger" fish for my tank. I have a 90g with a Convict tang, bicolor blenny, one false clown (soon to be two), a royal gramma, and two green chromis.

I do have a fair amount of coral in the tank as well.

I've been reading up on them, and all the opinions fall in both directions. So I'm looking for some opinions from experiene.

Thanks!

I've had one for almost a year now. Been a model citizen. VERY friendly with the other fish... kinda like a little puppy dog. He and the Yellow Tang are good buddies. They 'cruise' together.

Oh, he's never touched a coral or invert. Loves Nori and his favorite is definitely squid.

I had good success but something took him out before he got over 3". A lot of people have success with them when small, but I haven't found many (actually I think I've seen one) that have a 6" or larger specimen that is behaving himself in a reef. I love those fish, and I'm definitely in the Risky Reefing camp, but do be wary.

I have one in a 90g reef tank. I have no probs and he is the coolest fish in the tank

keep in mind that the pinktail and bluejaw trigger are also "generally" reef safe.
