| Unfortunately, triggers in general aren't too reef safe. The few possible exceptions would be the blue throat & a few of the other members of the Xanthichthys family.
Years ago, I worked in the fish room of one of my areas "premier " pet stores. When I had to clean the tank with the undulated trigger, I had to do so with a net in one hand to fend the nasty bugger off with. I've been bitten more than once, not just a friendly nip, drawing blood each time. Nigers, not mean, clowns, iffy, but Queens & Undulateds, would try to bite nearly every time. Maybe they associated humans with food, especially since many of the other employees fed them live goldfish, but they can be VERY nasty fellas. Move stuff around, tear stuff up out of boredom, kill just about anything else in the tank, and would eat anything they could get in their mouths. Hella pretty fish, and so are the Queens, but not very friendly. |
