crosshatch... but more than likely... the small fish will still get eaten.

niger trigger

i have a blue throat with all sps, and he is awesome doesn't touch anything. he is a little aggressive with my melanurus but doesn't hurt him or anything.

pinktail
bluethroat
redtail
crosshatch (near impossible to find small enough)
golden back

IMO redtails, bluethroats and pinktails are great reef dwellers. They are also the most economical and easiest to get at 2-3" in size. I dunno how large they can get when grown in an aquarium enviroment tho. A 120 could prove to be too small down the road.

Pink Tail or the Black Durgeon are pretty good with reefs.

couldn't resist this little guy about an 1 1/2 long he's perfect for my 120! I also picked up a 3" female blue throat trigger when she stops hiding I'll put a pick up
Thx
For all the advice

my old sargassum trigger was boss. not aggressive. never touched coral. acted like any other simple fish in the tank...

When the clown tang and trigger grow it's gonna be interesting.

Yea that clown was a mistake. I didn't do my homework. I'm gonna work real hard on getting him out of the tank, just not sure how. Lol

I would recommend the blue throat, however with three tangs already and one being a clown tang I would call it a day.

i wanted a nice trigger for my tank also 120 sps dominate i didn't think that the niger would be reef safe everything i read about them says that they are not
