Anyone have a blue jaw Triggerfish in their reef tank?

They are supposed to be reef safe, but I wanted to see if anyone had any first hand experience. If so, what type of corals are you keeping them with? Thanks.

I have had one for about 8 months, and love it. No problems at all, its in a 260 GAL, with lots of SPS and LPS and cleaner shrimp. Does not bother anything.

feng had a big one in his reef. I think the trick is to get them small

I have a small one in a mixed reef. He has been in there about 4 months. He hasn't bothered anything except for eating my shrimp.

Thanks for the responses everyone. Jim I - what type of shrimp did you have that got eaten? Are they safe around any inverts?

don't know about Jim but I have 2 cleaner shrimp and he never bothers them. also snails and hermits. same thing. Jim could have had small ornamental shrimp?

I had a pair of skunk cleaners and bloods. He didn't bother them for about the first month then 1 night started picking at there antennas. The next morning they were all gone. He has never picked on any of my other fish, clam, corals, or snails.
