Fierce Trigger!!

[RAV-65]

Anyone knows wat's the most agressive trigger fish around??

Looking for a trigger for my new tank to rid the crabs...

[kelstorm]

to the divers, it is titan trigger.. otherwise, u can try the clown trigger

[iori_del]

u can get a clown trigger to help u, i swear it it will kill everything tat is in ur tank

[Dispar_Anthias]

fierce you sure you want fierce trigger.... i thought one that remove crab can liao.... blue line, clown, humu humu picasso.. many many

[RAV-65]

Wah... seems like the clown trigger is the best choice, easily available and a vicious predator...

Will be the 1st fish in my tank as I want it to eliminate all the crabs in my tank before my fishes and corals go in...

Thanxs all!!

can I ask if the trigger is reef safe? my tank also got crab problem(not sure hairy crab or mantis). previously read in liveaquaria and went to buy a 6 line wrasse. 2 day later, the head and tail gone. left the middle part on the bottom of the tank.

Nope... most triggers are aggresive and non-reef-safe in nature... but there are a few that is... the blue-chin/throat trigger that alot of people seem to be crazy over now is one...

Hey... dun laff.... me intending to get once dat's 6-8 inch big..... will put it into my tank for maybe 2 weeks to give it time to eat the bigger crabs...

Den after that when I remove, will add another 2-3 hawk fishes to finish up and control the smaller crabs!!

[weileong]

won't it be a little if you spend sometime to cook/cure your LR first then take the time to catch out those nasty crabs?

I seriously doubt the trigger or fishes can finish all the crabs within 2 weeks.

Get the undulate trigger!

I keep one which i use to get rid of the critters in my LRs before putting the LRs into my other tanks. Tried, tested and found to be very effective!

I think the undulate might be a better choice for this task than the clown trigger or the picasso, cos its more hardy and definitely 10x fiercer too! Just dun even think of keeping any other marine creature/fish in the same tank as the undulate.

[andysho]

how does the undulate trigger looks like?

Safe for Sps lol

Tada! Here's the undulate triggerfish... hmmm.. i dun think it will bother your corals, i've got no experience in that though, have always kept mine in a FOWLR..

[Dispar_Anthias]

undulate trigger has nasty reputation.. some literally sample your other fishes to death

Bro,

not sure about how to cook rocks... but am aware that cooking takes a few weeks also??

I also have fear that in the long term, the cooked rocks may slowly leach po4 back into the water over a even longer period of time...
