Fast Facts

AVAILABILITY NOTE
This fish is not particularly rare, however, it is not often available, and not a popular species. Contact us is you're serious about getting one. The window of opportunity to get one when available is small, so jump on them fast.

Beautiful but aggressive, tankmates for the queen trigger should be chosen carefully. Small specimens can usually be housed with other bold fishes, but large ones may require a tank of their own. Not as frequently collected as it once was, these spectacular triggers are found only in the Caribbean.
