Trigger Fish and Brain??

[jemichaeliv]

I have a Picasso & Niger Trigger in a FOWLR system.

I want to put my Green Brain in there (is is about 6 inches in diameter) and some leathers.

Will they bother it? I know they are not "reef safe" as far as shrimps, crabs, smaller fish, etc. but will they hurt the brain? If not what other corals can go in there? Will they bother SPS?

They won't touch corals at all. In fact I have a Niger trigger in a tank that is full of cleaner shrimp and other inverts, and they all get along just fine. The Picasso although more agressive than a Niger will also be fine with the corals, though with inverts it would be rolling the dice a bit depending on how big he is and his current temperment.

They won't even give a darn about the corals. Or anenomes or whatever. But you're right on about shrimps, crabs, etc. I think a trigger would almost have to be ill to let it drop to the bottom before chomping it when you put them in!

That all depends, but Sargassum,Pinktail, and Niger triggers generally dont even give shrimp and other crusaceans a 2nd thought. The Picasso however..........

I once heard that triggers often like to sharpen there teeth on rock and hard coral.
