    Sounds good to me. I love triggers and the blue jaws are one of the "reef" safe out there. The only downside is that this will probably max you on fish going with a pair of them.

    JMO, PB tangs and all triggers need a min of 6ft once fully grown.

    I agree on both :-/

    Flame Angel would be fine size wise, but dwarf angels are known to nip at corals, which you may already know.

    I don't think it's a given that blue throats will nip at corals.....again, it's a fish that could go either way - it's a risk you take. I think if they are well fed, they could very well leave your corals alone.

    I'm getting a blue throat trigger when I start my tank. I'd have to say keep them on the list. What a beautiful creature

    This tank is not big enough for a BJ Trigger.Let alone two.While they are reported to be safer then most triggers it is still a risk.One that I would not take.:(
