Trigger in a mixed reef?

[Jasanden]

I would like to know of people's experiences with triggers in their mixed reefs. Do you regret it or are they a wonderful addition. I once had a red tail and he was not a bad fish so much but was a very aggressive eager to the point of being a PIA. So I would like to here some more experiences. I may just go with a pair of mimic saddle puffers.

I had a Niger Trigger in a 120g mixed reef and had no issues with him. One of my favorite fish with lots of personality. They eat a ton so plan on an increased bioload.

Goldenbacks, crosshatch, sargassum and some Nigers would work

I know they can work just curious about people that have them already in There reef tanks feel about them now.

dmorty did you happen to pick up a black tang and the coco island angel?

Bluethroat. Good fish, didn't eat no shrimp, crabs, or snails. Even ate Nori with the Tangs.

+1 beautiful fish, and cheaper and smaller than the other triggers listed!
All of the xancinthys sp. are better choices for a reef.

The only trigger I ever had was a Niger and it was an awesome fish. Very personable and loved to eat out of my hands.

No the Joc at 1100$ was over priced by 3-400$ and I asked about the tang but never heard anything until he said sold.

My experience with a Niger and a Crosshatch was that as long as they had food, they were happy campers. They would pick a bit here and there but were never destructive.

+1. Great fish and cheap also. Have mixed with him in it no problem at all.

Awesome thanks for the input guys. Dmorty. Bummer on the tang and Angel. Can't wait to see your new tank fill up.
