Clown Trigger: The striking yet bizarre coloration coupled with seasonal limited availability make this the prize trigger among aquarists and my favorite as well. This is the most “Jekyll & Hyde” personality fish in the business. Some Balistoides conspicillum stay amiable for their entire lives whereas others manifest a nasty temperament with age. Like Pufferfish, all Triggers need to be fed a diet including hard shelled shrimp or clams to help wear down their ever growing teeth. The Clown Trigger maxes out at 20 inches and requires at least a 55 gallon aquarium with rocks and caves for habitat. This is an aggressive easy care level fish-only fish.
