depends what kind of reef tank you have...
you would only consider putting a trigger in an aggresssive reef tank.
and even then, neither of those would be on the top of the trigger/reef friendly list.

The Sargassum and Crosshatch are also suitable species for a reef tank. Unless the tank is extremely large, triggers aren't a good choice for a reef system. They are very active, create a lot of waste and are unpredictable as they mature. Even the planktonic species can get an attitude. The black (Durgeon) trigger and niger, while planktonic, can become very nasty and they are imposing fish when adults that need huge systems. I wouldn't consider either of these personally.

A Niger and a Hawaiian Black Trigger will both eat your corals and inverts.
I have never seen or heard a Niger eating coral...They will eat in inverts in a reef...

I have a niger in my reef and he is doing fine. My cleaner crew is another story.

Sorry
what I ment to say was Nip and or pick at. My friend had a Niger which he put into a reef not knowing and I watched it pick apart some of his stuff. Even if it is a rare occurence just trying to say its still possible.
