Snapshot: This Triggerfish has a beautiful golden colouration with a unique pattern of spots compared to other Undulated Triggerfish.

Bare bones must know: Live rock fish-only system or fish-only system. Watch out — triggerfish sport formidable teeth that can deliver painful bites!
Aquarium conditions: Create a roomy marine habitat where your triggerfish can freely roam. Opt for a low-maintenance substrate ideal for triggerfish. Incorporate secure hiding spots, large rock formations create ideal caves. They may rearrange your landscape! Maintain an aquatic utopia by nailing the basics: rock-solid water quality with top-notch filtration and routine partial water changes.
Feeding: Triggers crave a diverse menu of meaty delights: squid, krill, clams, small fish, and tough-shelled shrimp. These treats help keep their perpetually growing teeth in check.
AQT note: All our fish feast on a diet of seaweed, marine pellets, flakes and frozen treats under our care. Keep the feast going in your tank!
