Is a Blue Throat Trigger right for me?

Hello all! I've never posted on this particular board, but I thought there might be more people who are knowledgeable about Triggers here. I posted the same message on the fish discussion board, sorry about the double post.
I'm think about getting a blue throat trigger, because my husband really wants a trigger and after doing some research I found that this one could be a possibility.
My tank is 90 gallons.
My stock list...
small blue hippo (between 1-2 inches)
maroon clown
royal dottyback
3 green chromis
yellow wrasse
I also have 2 hammer corals and 2 haitian anems. I don't have any shrimp. Except the stupid mantis shrimp, but that is another story.
What do you think? I'm going to the LFS today to look at coral. If they have this fish I might get him.

Well I could answer this question ..........but since you insulted mantis shrimp .

Technicaly you could add this trigger and you should be fine . Just keep in mind that like your tang its going to get big and take away stocking room for other fish .

you could consider the blue jaw, pink tail, sargassum, and possibly the niger as reef safe, however the bluejaw is the smallest of all these choices, and would do well in a 90 for a while but with that and your tang you will eventually need a bigger tank.
