I think you will get a couple responses here, I have a Niger trigger in my reef, and I have seen pictures of Blue Throat and Crosshatch triggers in reef tanks as well. I would do a search using Trigger and Reef keywords and I'll bet you get what you are looking for.

After some discussions with my fellow aquarists up here I've decided not to get a trigger. They really are cool fish, but I dont want too risk any of my inverts or fish...

Thanks again.

Trigger in the genus Xanthichthys are reef safe in a sense that they don't pick on corals. These are Bluechin, Crosshatch, and Sargassum. Odonus niger the Niger trigger also reefsafe. All are messy eater and will add lots of waste into the tank. The Niger also get quite large.
