Care and Tank Setup

Plan for a fish-only or FOWLR tank of 120 gallons or more with secure rockwork, since triggers move rocks and sand. Strong filtration and a good protein skimmer handle its appetite.

Feed a varied meaty diet once or twice a day, including shell-on foods that help wear down its constantly growing teeth. It will eat crabs, shrimp, snails and small fish, so it is not suitable for a reef with invertebrates.

Young Picasso Triggers are often a little calmer and adapt quickly, while larger fish show their full pattern and make an instant centerpiece. Many become so tame that they take food from tongs and greet their owner at the glass. Use care when working in the tank, as triggers have strong teeth.

Tank Mates

Choose robust, similar-sized fish that can handle a confident trigger. Good matches include the Porcupine Puffer, the Miniatus Grouper and large tangs such as our new Yellow Tang and Scopas Tang. Add the trigger last, and keep only one trigger per tank unless the system is very large. For another bold option, compare it with the Undulatus Triggerfish.
