Well, it's been a year.
My orange tail trigger is now the proud owner of a certificate that reads, "reef safe."
I've always loved triggers, but when I decided to do a mixed reef, I went triggerless for a while. Someone mentioned to me he had a pink tail which was good to the creatures in his tank - and when a friend was downsizing I took a chance with his 6 month old orange tail trigger that he was looking to rehome.
A year later - The trigger has never bothered a single thing in the tank. I have 50 snails, 25 hermit crabs, mushrooms, polyps, a torch and a leather coral -and - get this - 6 peppermint shrimp. He actually sleeps near the shrimp and occasionally will let them clean him.
So - he's officially reef safe. He refuses to wear his certificate around his neck though.
