I bought this triggerfish for my 55-gallon reef tank. It has been thriving for three months. The fish is active but not overly aggressive. It doesn’t damage corals and seems to adapt well to the environment. Easy to care for as a beginner-level species.

The fish arrived healthy and has been active since setup. I appreciate that it’s reef-safe. It’s not the most colorful, but it’s calm and doesn’t bother my polyps. Good choice for a beginner with a larger tank.

After a few weeks, the triggerfish has settled into the tank and is exploring the rockwork. I’m happy with the size and temperament. It’s a solid addition to a 50-gallon system without causing stress to other inhabitants.
