trigger fish
Even though most trigger are very aggressive, not all are.There is a pink tail trigger, and a blue throat trigger, both are pretty peacefull. The blue throat does hide alot, especially when first introduced to the tank. Both are hardy fish, and easy to keep. I have seen both in reefs, with out any problems. The third trigger that comes to mind is the niger, more aggressive then the other two, and I would not put it in a reef. Still not as aggressive as a tipical trigger, also very hardy. One of the things I like about the niger is when feedding them they will sometimes spit water from the tank if you are not fast enough.

BTW for those of you who keep triggers I recommend you visit Plum Beach area and look under rocks for green crabs. They come in all sizes and will make perfect food for your triggers. They'll trully enjoy dovouring them.

trigger fish
I have had the yellow tail, he was very mild mannered.
I have a blue throat now for about 1 1/2 -2 years. he is very hardy. They do grow slow, so do not worry about there potential size so much. The blue throat is a bit shy. when first introduce they will hide for a while, it is normal for them. They are beautiful fish, try to get a male they have a much more blue colored throat. As they get bigger the blue area gets brighter and larger |

Where the Humuhumunukuapua'a Go swimmingly Gently By
My favorite is the Humuhumunukunukuapua'a. I caught one scuba diving in Hawaii in 1992. It was only my second dive alone, and I pulled it out the reef by it's tail. I put it my collecting net and turned around as I thought I heard a boat siren, and was confronted by an eye the size of a plate. It was a 20 foot Beluga Whale watching me. After nearly freaking out, I got it packed it in oxygen and brought it home. It is a very intelligent, attractive fish that needs some room, but is rather easy to keep. It liived with s Stonefish that I also caught an nearly stepped on right on Waikiki in a fish only tank. They don't tell tourists , but Waikiki Beach is chock full of Stonefish from the Sheraton Beach right over to Hale Koa.

Tiggerfish Bite!
My Humu used to bite me. I don't think he ever forgave me for pulling out of a Hanauma Bay reef by his tail. Had to get rid of him when I moved to Nevada. Lots of stuff won't live or has to be kept with different equipment in Tahoe. Altitude too high and air too thin.
