I’ve had my Linespot Triggerfish for six months now. It’s active and curious, but not overly aggressive. I’ve placed it in a 75-gallon reef tank with hard corals and it hasn’t damaged any of them. The fish is a good addition to a moderately maintained tank.

The fish arrived healthy and seems to be adjusting well. I noticed it spends time near the back wall, which I think is a good sign. It’s not aggressive, but it does occasionally chase smaller fish. I’m happy with the purchase.
