My newest addition

i love that fish. hows it doing in your tank?

I only got him yesterday from the LFS, from a tank that had 30+ small blue hippo tangs, and he was getting along with them quite well. He was eating 1/2 hour after I put him in the tank. He leaves my clown alone, and my yellow tang and him seem to just be indifferent to each other. Besides that, he is already clearing up some of the spined copepods that he can chew easily (yeah, 'cause I hate the things!).

Interesting Spyrule. Let us know how he fares in a reef tank. They usually get boisterous after a couple years old and start tearing corals up, unless well fed. I love to see triggers in reef tanks, especially colorful ones. Good luck!

Tang

he'll be fine, nice reef safe fish, what do you feed him?

reef safe eh?

lmao! reef safe fish. obviously has never owned one. he will see how reef safe it is very soon.

this will be a nice test......oh and if you want to cheat I think that eric and joe have the answers already.

Yeah, I well assumed that it will not go too well with my corals once it starts to get bigger, but frankly, I don't have anything of high value.

I've got a huge sarcophyton, a crap-ton of fragspawn and waaaaaaay too much

Green Star Polip. So if he decides to clear some of it up, thats totally

fine by me.

Besides I dont plan on keeping him in this tank for more then 1-2 years at

most, depending on how fast he gets big !

Thanks for the heads up though.

Spyrule

wow lol ur in for a treat. 10'' of clown trigger is what ur gonna get in a year and all ur fish,inverts,maybe even coral will be dead. bioload will be aton. take it back to the lfs

hows the clown trigger lookin in there?

well, as an update, it's been 9 months and he's only grown about 1/2" at the most. He's still quite docile, except for eating all my cleaning crew. Somehow a peppermint shrimp has survived the entire time.

But he is healthy, and I will probably be selling him soonish.

Sold him, made $50, purchased a mandarin, and a lawnmower blenny.
