Feng always had one in his old DT. The only cons i guess could be eating shrimp and snails, maybe nipping at coral too. I want to put a small one in my reef too but having enough trouble with my bicolor nipping

I had one in my reef for awhile, until he decided to try and swim through my old overflow and got stuck and died..

That was about the only drawback to the fish! I would recommend it, they are great fish. I never had any problems with it eating snails, shrimp or coral.

hope that mine stays in the water! had a couple jumpers over the past couple years- no fun at all.

he's been release to general population. no incidents so far. o kinda thought he'd find a cave and hide out for a while, but he's been out in the open since i released him. he'll probably be running with the pack thinking he is tang in couple days.

gonna try feeding in a few hours.

its offical, this trigger thinks its a tang. he's been running with the pack since day 1, but it took a couple days for him to start hitting the algae clip but he has found his way into the pecking order.

I'm considering getting a female for the male here is why.
I used to raise cichlids and whenever a female is introduced the male would color up like twice as much as normal. although I don't expect them to mate (possible) was wondering if those who have a pair have experienced this.
