What type of Trigger is this ID experts?

[myerst22]

Hello all. Well I have been looking to add one last fish to my display and want it to be a great one. I toyed with getting a Interruptus angel but thanks to fellow -- members I decided against it because of temperature needs among otherthings. I then set my sights on a Wrought Iron Butterfly, but the temperature issue came up again. So then onto a Conspiculatus. One of my all time dream fish, but I think my big 8" Black Tang is going kill the Conspic if I add him. So then I always wanted a male or pair of crosshatches. Problem is you can only get 7+" male crosshatches for the most part. I wanted something in the 5" range. So after scouring sources for fish I came across this beauty and I think I found my fish. It is a Crosshatch hybrid. Not sure what it's crossed with but it's either crossed with a sargassum or blue throat. What do you guys think? The fish is the right size and it is absolutely beautiful. What do you guys think of this fish? Thanks, Tim

Looks like a Blue Jaw to me. I have a female one and she is great! Was shy at first, but now is constanly in the open, and very mellow temperd.

hard to say exactly, but i'd say a sargassum trigger. Red tail outlines.
Blue jaws triggers have bright blue jawlines, males have yellow outlines, females have brown.

maybe a pink tail.

def. not a pinktail, and I've never seen a blue throat trig male or female with those markings, pretty sure it's a sargassum. Either way very pretty fish.

Not a pinktail.
pinktails have solid pink tails and an olive green body.

Tim,
I think that it is a female crosshatch in transition to a male. That would explain the light color on the tail and the scale pattern.
Also, the face is very much a male crosshatch.

I think so too; I remember mine in transition and , although I don't consider my memory perfect any longer, it was very similar.

Either a female Crosshatch or a female Blue Jaw.
Looks more like a female Blue Jaw tho.
