Your experience with Blue throat triggers in your reef aquarium.

[edsimmons]

I have a 180g reef and am thinking about adding a pair of BTT’s.

What are your experiences with these fish in your reef?

I just purchased a pair a couple of weeks ago.. so far they are ok.. a little shy still..

i had a baby clown trigger in a reef,he was super freindly,mellow and never messed with a single coral,including zoos...i unfortunatly had to get rid of him,because he loved cleaner shrimp...i thought to myself,hey ill just get a blue throat..as i researched the bluethroats,i saw many threads on how they love shrimp...if you could live without shrimp,the bluethroats should be great reef fish..jazzmanb p.s of course a few hermits well become meals too,but i think the shrimp taste much better in the triggers eyes.

I have read good things about the crosshatch, no experience though . . .

Thanks for your input
