Triggers together in a reef

[itsamyheff]

I have a blue throat trigger in my reef now. I set up a fowler tank for my puffer that I had for 4-5 years. I lost him not to long ago. I have new fish in the tank now, but I am not really feeling right about the set up. I have a pink tail trigger in that tank and I am thinking about putting him in the reef and shutting down the fowler. I have read they may work or may not work together, has anybody had luck with 2 triggers in a reef? Thanks for any info.

I used to have a blue throat and a pink tail together with no issues.

I figured you could, but just wanted reassurance.

Now, with that said, you won't be able to keep any small fish like cleaner wrasses or any type of shrimp, crabs or snails because if they're not fed well daily, your livestock will be gone. Trust me, I know.

I have two Golden Hearts, a male Cross Hatch, a Clown and a Niger trigger living together in harmony. They are in a fish only as opposed to a reef though. But, I second the above comments. Keeping triggers limits your options.
