I have a mixed reef tank 5 foot long 2 years old. I have sunburst anthias, baggai, royal gamma, 1 yellow tang, 1 hippo, 1 desjardini, midas blenny, 2 wrasses, exquisitte and christmas wrasse. Pink diamond goby. Can i have 1 blue jaw trigger fish. Or would it eat any of my fish or corals? Whats your experience?
 
Have a pair. Don’t bother any fish big or small. Only each other.
 
Agree with above, model citizen. I've had two, both males: one years ago that was horribly skittish, kind of picky about what he'd eat, and actually jumped out of the tank once when I walked by, and my current one that's an absolute PIG, not shy ate all, and bites the heck out of my fingers if I hesitate at the surface too long fiddling with frags 😆

He doesn't bother any of his tankmates, and just zooms around doing his own thing all day. I can't comment on inverts because I don't have any (harlequin tusk and blue spotted toby took care of those), but he has never bothered a coral.
