Added this triggerfish to my 75-gallon reef tank after researching reef-safe species. It has been active and peaceful, showing no aggression toward corals or other fish. The coloration is vibrant and it’s a great addition to the community.

The fish has adapted well to the tank environment. It’s semi-aggressive but doesn’t cause issues when kept with compatible species. I appreciate that it’s reef-safe and doesn’t damage live rock or polyps.

After a few months, the Blue Throat Triggerfish has become a regular part of the tank. It’s active during the day and doesn’t seem to stress other inhabitants. The size is manageable within the 75-gallon setup.
