The Blue Throat Trigger is a striking fish that will bring a lot of attention to your aquarium! Be sure not to keep them with smaller or timid fish that could be harassed or even eaten. Aggression can be amplified in smaller tanks. They like to pick on smaller sessile invertebrates and tip other things like corals while exploring, so this trigger is not considered reef safe. Ensure the rockwork has ample hiding places, though they are known to rearrange rockwork. For continued health provide a varied diet of meaty foods, such as chopped seafood, multiple times a day. Since they have teeth, the Blue Throat needs to be fed foods with a shell to keep them from overgrowing. A good time to work in aquariums that have triggerfish in them is after feeding. They will grow to be a large size of 9" and will need ample swimming space. Full grown adults of this trigger will need around 125 gallons. They have a gray body covered with small blue spots. The males have a deep blue throat.
