    Any trigger is a probability to be a problem, however, blue jaws and nigers are the best and I feel are safe.
    There's nowhere else I'ld rather be... unless, of course, you're buying

    we have had two blue throat triggers and have never had a problem, except the first one jumped out of the tank during the night They are a great fish.
    Just a girl trying to create a little bit of paradise on earth without killing it.

    #ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#You say a Niger Trigger would be ok? Hmm my book says there the best but still not completly safe, But blue jaw I just wouldent want to do, Now for this Niger though, How safe do you figure he would be like % cuz I want one but dont know If I would trust him with my Marine Beta, Sadle Back, Or Yellow tail damsel. Especially with my Corals. Please answer!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

    ANY fish is a risk(some more than others) IME, nigers and blue jaws are great(blue jaws are nearly identicle besides some coloring differences... and cost). It's your choice and I can't say whether you will be a statistic or not, but have seen nor heard any of my fellow reefers having a problem with either. Chances are that he will be the one picked on with your current load.

    #ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Another good trigger is the crosshatch trigger. I ahve one in my reef and he has never touched anything that I can see. He is not full grown yet, about 7 inches long but thriving and harmless.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
