Clown triggerfish, (Balistoides conspicillum).

One of the most colourful and well known species in the marine hobby, and bursting with character too. For many hobbyists this is one of their ultimate dream fish. Juveniles are only available for a few months once a year, then they move into deeper water where few divers can catch them.

SIZE

These juveniles are around 1”, they can reach 3”+ within a year. Growth then becomes much slower, with most specimens eventually getting to around 6”, although occasionally specimens as large as 10” are seen in the wild.

COMPATIBILITY

Clown triggers vary a lot in personality. Most specimens get along well with other fish, and most corals, but, most attack or eat inverts, particularly small inverts. Some specimens (especially males) have a bit more attitude and at full size may need a fish only aquarium with other similar sized fish. Clown triggers generally do not like sharing an aquarium with other Clown triggers, or other members of the Balistoides genus eg; Picasso triggers, Undulate triggers etc. They usually get on well with Melichthys triggers though.
