I agree the queen is my favorite, the titan is next.

i know this is an old thread but i thought i'd ask if some triggers like the kiri/greeni triggerfish are fine with clown fish like maroons or the regular natural clown fish (NOT trigger clowns) as it looks like there is one in the tank above. i just purchased a beautiful one but i'm scared i wont be able to have the clownfish in with him and other fish i enjoy. would like to know what i should expect. also, i'm a sucker for sea stars, coco worms and clams or oysters...i'm guessing the coco worms, clams and oysters are off the list now? as well as potentially my red ornamental shrimp...blood shrimp? cant remember what they are called. any advice, i'd love to hear it. kind of hesitating after hearing that triggers can be really aggressive....i dont have a FOWLR and would love to have corals. I have a montipora right now and plan to get more coral. i should also point out that i have two tanks, one with a frogfish that i could delagate things that are too big for him to eat to go to that tank. but i'd rather not since this one is in my living room and larger.
are these family of triggers not nearly as destructive as the others? i've heard that, just want to make sure!! would you be concerned if i had a 3 year old? could he potentially lose part of his finger if he tries to feed him? why is everyone sticking their hands in the tank to feed triggers??? lol. does this family jump out too???I have crosshatch sargassum and bluethroat triggers that are in same family... They will be ok with you're clowns... Imo.. I have fish only so your other questions I can't answer....
he's eating pellets according to live aquaria. do you think you'd feed like twice a day? they can overeat?? hmmmmm. i've never had to worry about that before except my frogfish (different tank).With the clown being in the tank first, it stands a good chance but : Do keep the trigger well fed - DO NOT OVERFEED, provide hiding for trigger who cares a lot about where it can hide, and bear in mind- ANY FISH THAT CAN FIT IN ANOTHER FISH'S MOUTH SOONER OR LATER WILL.
if ITS A SEBAE OR MAROON CLOWN, they generally can fend for themselves well !!
I had bluethroats and yes- they got along with my perculasare these family of triggers not nearly as destructive as the others? i've heard that, just want to make sure!! would you be concerned if i had a 3 year old? could he potentially lose part of his finger if he tries to feed him? why is everyone sticking their hands in the tank to feed triggers??? lol. does this family jump out too???

Assure they get meaty foods like mysis shrimp, krill, rods or LRS food, clam and similarhe's eating pellets according to live aquaria. do you think you'd feed like twice a day? they can overeat?? hmmmmm. i've never had to worry about that before except my frogfish (different tank).
In my reef I have a Sargassum trigger, Clown trigger and I just added an Assasi, they get along fine with the other 11 fish, 2 of them being a gold stripe maroon and a tomato clown. I have a clam and they dont even look at it. My hermits only come out once the lights are out. My tank is full of all kinds of corals and they dont munch on any of them. Coco worms would probably be ok, ornamental shrimp probably will get munched. Only way to find out for sure is to try it.i know this is an old thread but i thought i'd ask if some triggers like the kiri/greeni triggerfish are fine with clown fish like maroons or the regular natural clown fish (NOT trigger clowns) as it looks like there is one in the tank above. i just purchased a beautiful one but i'm scared i wont be able to have the clownfish in with him and other fish i enjoy. would like to know what i should expect. also, i'm a sucker for sea stars, coco worms and clams or oysters...i'm guessing the coco worms, clams and oysters are off the list now? as well as potentially my red ornamental shrimp...blood shrimp? cant remember what they are called. any advice, i'd love to hear it. kind of hesitating after hearing that triggers can be really aggressive....i dont have a FOWLR and would love to have corals.

wow that's sooooo awesome you are able to keep those triggers in there!! i'd love a clown or a picasso....but definetly love my inverts!!! i guess i could try....would he beeline to it if he sees it coming in like its food or something??? im reading things about poisonous bites...that right??In my reef I have a Sargassum trigger, Clown trigger and I just added an Assasi, they get along fine with the other 11 fish, 2 of them being a gold stripe maroon and a tomato clown.

what do you feed your triggers????!! my thinking was that if i fed it pellets it wouldn't want to eat the other things. but if i feed i frozen clams wouldn't it one day decide it wants a fresh oyster (my pet thorny oysters??) Anyway-- wondering if they get used to what i feed them and that it comes into the tank its food and leaves the rest alone or if i get them used to this mysis and clam and pellet and krill diet they will have a taste for more live foods!In my reef I have a Sargassum trigger, Clown trigger and I just added an Assasi, they get along fine with the other 11 fish, 2 of them being a gold stripe maroon and a tomato clown.

If you add something the trigger is gonna think is food I would do it late at night while the fish is sleeping. No idea on poisons.wow that's sooooo awesome you are able to keep those triggers in there!! i'd love a clown or a picasso....but definetly love my inverts!!! i guess i could try....would he beeline to it if he sees it coming in like its food or something??? im reading things about poisonous bites...that right??
my first time recalling you saying 1 in 1000 chance....what are you referring to?? that those triggers will work in a reef? or something like greeni/kiri would work?GREAT looking tank, how long has the clown trigger been in the tank, how big was he when you put him in, and how big is he now. The Assassi does have a similar diposition as the other rhin.... genus triggers, I know they do usually come in larger, so it will be interesting to see as time goes how he fairs. I wish you luck, but as I have said many times, it's a 1 in 1000 chance it will work long term.
I feed them various varieties of Hikari frozen cubes, half clams, and Hikari marine A and seaweed extreme pellets. The frozen I feed everyday and pellets once a week or so. I have all kinds of corals shrooms, zoas, lps, montis, and lots of Acros.what do you feed your triggers????!! my thinking was that if i fed it pellets it wouldn't want to eat the other things. but if i feed i frozen clams wouldn't it one day decide it wants a fresh oyster (my pet thorny oysters??)

do you keep specific coral out of your tank?
