Trigger in Reef ?

[silkphoto]

I was looking at adding a Niger , pink tail , or crosshatch trigger to my reef.
Just wondering what experience anyone has had with these triggers in a reef .
Seem to be coral and fish safe ?
Probably not invertebrate safe ?
If ok ... anyone know of any for sale?
Thanks

I have a Niger that about 6" long. He doesn't mess with my corals or inverts ever but it always depends on the fishes personality. "Hit or miss". If you buy a small one and keep crabs in the tank with him he usually won't touch them when he reaches adulthood. Also proper feeding habits help. Keep him full and he will be a great reef fish.

Ah ,,, that would be awesome ...always loved trigger fish , Niger are real nice...like the pink tails also .. good idea .... I will start looking for a small one. I wonder if like a pink and a niger could be kept together ?
thanks for the info

Had a niger trigger for over a year... Made dinner out of crabs and shrimp... But never touched a coral or fish!!
