Is this fish Reef Safe ?
Coral Safe and compatible with yellow tang blue hippo tang clowns and a blue throat trigger in a 120 ?

i wouldn't recommend it. that is a type of trigger fish, which are NOT reef safe!

anyone know anything about this costly fish ?

that is a Golden Heart Trigger. It is on the same lines as a Queen trigger. It gets very large and is very aggressive. They are awesome looking fish but they are one that would require a specimen tank IMHO.

A 120 would hold this guy till it got to about 6-7 inches and then you would need to find a 210+

It needs to be in a tank alone ?

 

[ccampbell57]

Not now, but it will need to be in one by itself when it gets around 10" and mean as hell. It will kill your other fish.

anyways just doing research its an expensive fish.
