Feeding & Care
The Clown Triggerfish is a carnivore that thrives on a diet of meaty foods such as squid, krill, clams, and hard-shelled shrimp. These foods not only provide essential nutrition but also help wear down their strong teeth. While hardy and relatively easy to feed, they are aggressive and territorial, so select tank mates carefully. Best kept with similarly bold species in large, predator-style aquariums.
Why Choose the Clown Triggerfish?
If you’re looking for a true centerpiece fish with dazzling colors and a commanding personality, the Clown Triggerfish is unmatched. Its dramatic appearance, lively behavior, and long lifespan make it a rewarding addition to large marine systems.
