Pink tail question

[wegotcrabs]

Has anyone had any sucess with keeping a pink tail trigger in a mixed reef. Im not that worried about the coral as I am with my shrimp and cleaning crew. I have 2 cleaners 1 fire and 2 peppermints. I know there is always a chance a trigger will go after them, but if the risk is low enough i will take the chance.

I had him in a mix reef with inverts no problem, he became a bully so I had to let him go, all other fish will starve the way he ate everything I threw in the tank, nice colors though. Good luck with him

Anyone else?

They should be fine in the reef, it is one of my favorite fish. I had a deep sand bed with all kinds of critters and he left them alone. Every fish is obviously different but you should be okay

Should be fine, have had one in my reef for 6 years, no problems.

Had one in my reef - traded him out for a pair of blue jaw triggers - he never bothered the corals, but he would pick off the snails and was a bully to the other fish
