It's been my experience and I thought general knowledge that triggers are not reef safe.

The Blue Jaw and Pink Tail triggers are considered to be reef safe from what I understand. The typically don't nip on corals or tear up substrate/rock however I think some inverts such as snails may become victim to them.
I have never had either of these fish, nor would I put them in my reef but I think this is the general concensus.
Regards,
Scott Z.

They may not eat corals but they are not totally reef safe: http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/Spec...ciesname=viduaNinong
