What do you guys feed your Blue Jaw Trigger?

[DJasak]

Hey guys,

I just picked up a blue jaw for my reef tank! He's really cool, and settled in nicely, but I did a ton of reading before I got him and I've read that part of trying to prevent him from exploring the idea of what coral taste like is to make sure he's nice and full, but without over doing it. So what do you guys feed and how frequently? Also what do you guys give to help keep his teeth down? Thanks!

Bluethroats really don't bother coral, they are labeled as reef-safe with caution which they have to the potential to eat snail, crabs, or shrimp. I have snails, crabs, and shrimp in my tank and he does not pay any attention to them. For as feeding them, I feed my anything from Mysis shrimp, krill, silverside, mussels, clams, New Life Spectrum pellets, and Nori. Once a month I let him chew on some half-shell clams or shelled shrimp to wear his teeth down.
