I have a naso.....she has been in my tank for about a month now. She can't come closer to me, when I am near my tank, she is right there to see me, give your naso a chance to realize you are the one that is feeding. My naso knows I am her food provider and is very very social. She follows me around to the side of the tank when walk around it...very sweet fun fish... what size is your tank?

I agree with Ohiorn67, mine was very shy at first and then it became too close for comfort when I was reaching in the tank to clean or rearrange. I had 2 sebea clowns, a coral beauty angel, a yellow tang, a pair of firefish, and a scooter blenny. I was overstocked, but on top of it in a 75. I read this thread yesterday and I cant remember your tank size, but I believe it was smaller. I have since given my naso away, and that should be a consideration for you also. As for triggers, they are better in an aggressive tank. If you like your inverts then a trigger is not a good choice. HTH
