Would adding a small blue line trigger be a problem?

[HB AL]

So I love triggers, I currently have 14 fish and way maxed out for my reef tank so I would need to get rid of a fish, if I added a blue line trigger, I currently have a bluejaw, Sargassum and Clown trigger in the tank. My Sargassum has some tude but 6+ months ago when I added the clown trigger there were no issues. My current triggers don’t touch my corals, and I have a lot, I’ve had many different triggers over the last 30+ years and the blue line is one of my favorites. Anybody with direct knowledge, or 1st hand experience know if hes gonna start eating the corals? Aggression at 1st I can deal with.

I am going to say a very bad idea, bluelines grow pretty fast and can arguably be the most aggressive available triggers, equal to or right close to the undy. When I say aggressive, I mean murderous with no mercy. I have raised a couple of itty bitty bluelines that went to tanks in the 1000g range, from 1-1.5" to 5" within a couple of years. Their nasty aggressive attitude will likely get unbearable at the 4-5" mark, at that point they need to be in a very large, lightly stocked tank, with similarly aggressive fish.

I know you are currently having good luck with your clown in your reef, trust me, that will be short lived; and the blueline is definitely alot more destructive.

I've had them before and you answered exactly what I was thinking. Guess I just needed to hear it from someone. Maybe in the future i might try it. Thanks for telling what I already knew.
