I bought this clown triggerfish for my 75-gallon tank. It’s active and colorful, but I had to remove a few small fish due to its aggressive behavior. It’s not for beginners, but it adds a lot of visual interest if you’re prepared for its temperament.

The fish arrived healthy and looks vibrant. I noticed it’s quite territorial and doesn’t tolerate other fish well. I’ve had to keep it in a spacious tank with plenty of hiding spots.

Great addition to a larger tank. It’s bold and energetic. I made sure to keep it alone and avoid placing it near corals or small invertebrates. Very noticeable in the tank.
