Description
The Queen Triggerfish is a captivating species known for its vivid blue and yellow coloration and unique facial markings. This fish is aggressive and best suited for a species-specific tank or with other similarly sized and aggressive fish. The Queen Triggerfish requires a large tank with plenty of open swimming space and hiding spots, as well as a strong filtration system. It is a carnivore, thriving on a diet of meaty foods like shrimp, squid, and fish. Due to its tendency to nip at corals and invertebrates, it is not suitable for reef tanks. This species demands experienced care due to its size and temperament.
