Description

The Blue Jaw Triggerfish (Male), also known as the Blue Throat Triggerfish, is a striking marine species prized for its vibrant blue jaw and yellow-edged fins. Males are easily identifiable by their vivid blue throat and jaw, which contrasts against the grayish body covered in white spots.

This triggerfish is relatively peaceful for its species, though it can become semi-aggressive, especially in smaller tanks. It is best kept in larger, well-established aquariums with ample swimming space and hiding spots. While they are generally reef-safe, caution is needed as they may nip at certain invertebrates such as shrimp and crabs.

In the wild, they feed on various invertebrates, and in captivity, they thrive on a diet of meaty foods like shrimp, squid, and krill. The Blue Jaw Triggerfish is a hardy species, making it a suitable choice for intermediate marine aquarists looking for an eye-catching addition to their tank.
