My trigger likes Nori

I never would have thought that triggers like Nori, but mine just loves it.

He also has taken to taking the frags of my frag rack and using them to build up his lair.

I put in lots of rubble so hopefully he will leave my frags alone.
I also added a tang yesterday (Thanks Chin) He is one of the harder ones to take care of but is feisty and well fed. So I am hoping for the best. He/She had a bit of a fin flapping with the other fish not sure if it is over jet, but they seem good so far.
Here is a picture of it having a scuffle with my trigger when it tried to enter his lair.

Gotta love those triggers. Mine seems to have the same personality. The only thing he doesn't get along with in my tank is my gloved hand when I'm in there playing. I try to change the color of my gloves every so often just to switch it up a little, but I think he's wise to me. He also re-arranges alot of my smaller pieces, even tough my hubby says it is my naso (but I know better). What a great fish, huh? He gets cleaned by my cleaner shrimp all the time, too. They are a little wary, though. Enjoy.

I am sure it will eat your fingers too

My pink tailed trigger bites me all the time! Its a hard love-hate relationship with them.

My niger trigger eats nori and pretty much anything including my bi-colour angel.

Thats funny. I told my daughter that my clown attacks my hand. Told her it doesn't hurt. So she goes up to the tank and puts just her finger in. The trigger almost took a nice bite on her finger.

When I use the black algae scrapper he gets mad and bites it.
Hope he hasn't taken down a bunch more of my frags again today to build his lair.

I can see how they can become more mean over time as they get bigger.
Mine doesn't take any attitude from my clowns.

Actually I wouldn't ever think my clowns would even attempt to give him attitude. We got him as a 2 1/2" little guy in October and he is now about 6" or possibly a bit larger. So far so good, but I'm waiting for him to turn mean at any time.
