Sargassum Trigger in reef tank?

#1
I am looking to add a triggerfish to my reef tank, and I was naturally looking at the blue jaw trigger to be my addition. I sort of stumbled upon a another type of trigger that is supposedly reef "compatible", a sargassum trigger. These are beautiful fish, just wanted to see if anyone has any input on these guys.

Thanks.

They are beautiful and very shy at first, I have read reports that some are OK with shrimp if they are introduced after the shrimp, not sure i would ever trust them with clams however. They are expensive and not as easy to acclimate as Blue jaws IMO.
Good luck,

I saw that live aquaria says they are aggressive and not reef compatible, but I keep hearing otherwise....
From my understanding there are only a few triggers reef worthy and the sargassum is supposed to be one.
Hopefully the one I'm getting anyways.... (Knock on wood)

I heard Champ Bailey has a pair of really high end triggers in his reef, they are supposed to be reef safe, but like $1000/ea, wish I could remember the species.....
