I find the Nigers are more tempermental than the others, but Pink tails, sargassum and Blue throats I've seen kept together peacefully in large tanks.

Depending on how huge your tank is, the crosshatch trigger (male) is amazing and reef safe.

+1 on all triggers in the same boat. Crosshatch is from the same family as blue throat and sarragassum (sp?) triggers. I've had a blue throat living with corals for months now and he hasn't touch anything.


Can't get more thorough than this. :)

No clams in my tank. Just added a female yesterday. My previous male didn't even grow more than an inch in 2 years. And yes, he was well fed. Ate nouri more voraciously than any tang out there.
