Reefsafe Trigger? Great looking fish ... I would love to get a trigger for my new 110g set up but am still hesitant about getting a trigger.... what's your experience with it? What's the name?

 

how big is the trigger?

 

The trigger is larger than what I wanted. It's about 5 inches or so.

 

So far the trigger is still hiding. I can see his face through an opening in the rock. As of yet he hasn't developed a taste for inverts. There was a large black mythrix crab trying to push him out of the way last night. The crab likes to scrape coraline off the glass and he was literally trying to push the fish. This morning my cleaner shrimp was half an inch from its mouth. It wasn't cleaning him just hangin' out.

 

It's a blue throat or blue jaw trigger (same fish different names).

Nice to see you finally added a aquarium thread. Looks great,and nice additions

 

Thanks!

 

The trigger is starting to get braver. He'll come out into the middle of the tank for a few minutes at a time. Any movement in the room will send him into hiding. I had to take this picture from the couch so I wouldn't scare him. My apologies for the dirty glass.



The wrasse is still in hiding.

 

That is a great looking trigger. I really like that. Maybe on my next upgrade.
