Nice. I'm guessing you have good luck with those beautiful triggers in ur reef? R those 2 blue throats?

They are blue throats. The male is about 7" now, and the female about 4". These blue jaws are pretty gentle and rarely harass anyone. The male moves small rocks around but doesn't bother the corals. I leave a couple "toy" rocks and a big snail shell on the sand for his amusement.

That's awesome. I'd love to have a blue throat, I'd just be a little hesitant bc of my CUC and the whole rock moving.

Haha that is pretty cool. I could play that game with my clownfish.

Leather looks cool too.

The trick I found with keeping triggers on the reef is to use large rocks. We have a 12" Titan trigger in another tank, and all the rocks need to be at least 4 or 5 pounds or he'll pick them up. So the corals are all attached to large rocks, he doesn't bother them. And I leave a few smaller rocks so he has something to play with. They move rocks to sharpen their teeth and look for food. All LPS, zoas and mushrooms in that tank.
