Clown Trigger

Balistoides conspicillum

Not Reef Safe

The Clown Triggerfish, with its striking coloration and bold personality, is a captivating but challenging addition to marine aquariums. Known for its vibrant orange body adorned with bold white spots and distinctive clown-like facial markings, this fish adds a dramatic focal point to any tank. However, it is not reef safe and can be aggressive towards other tank mates, particularly smaller fish and invertebrates. Its powerful jaws are capable of crushing shells and causing damage to corals and other tank decorations. Therefore, it is best suited for fish-only tanks with large swimming space and robust tank mates. Providing ample hiding spots and appropriate tank decorations can help mitigate aggression. With its vibrant colors and charismatic behavior, the Clown Triggerfish makes a bold statement in marine aquariums, but it requires careful consideration and management due to its aggressive tendencies.

These fish are for saltwater aquariums only.
