Blue Throat Trigger

Xanthichthys auromarginatus

Reef Safe with Caution

The Blue Throat Triggerfish, renowned for its vibrant colors and distinctive throat patch, is a captivating but potentially challenging addition to marine aquariums. Featuring a stunning blue body accented by a yellow throat patch and vivid orange fins, this fish adds a splash of color to the tank. While generally considered reef safe with caution, it may occasionally nip at corals or other tank inhabitants, particularly in smaller or crowded tanks. Providing ample swimming space and appropriate hiding spots can help alleviate stress and aggression in captivity. With its bold personality and striking appearance, the Blue Throat Triggerfish adds a touch of excitement to marine aquariums, making it a favored choice for experienced aquarists seeking an eye-catching centerpiece fish.
